The Blue Badge scheme is for drivers or passengers with severe mobility problems. The scheme provides a range of on-street parking concessions enabling Blue Badge holders to park closer to where they need to go.

The scheme does not apply to off-street car parking, which includes privately operated car parks, supermarkets and airports.

The scheme operates throughout the UK and, in Scotland, is managed by local authorities who deal with applications and issue badges. You must apply for a Blue Badge to the Scottish local authority in which you are resident.
