Blue Badge Scheme
The Blue Badge scheme is for people with severe mobility problems which make them unable or virtually unable to walk or those who are registered blind.
Blue Badges can be considered for people with a diagnosed mental or cognitive disorder, which means they have little or no awareness of danger from traffic.
Blue Badges can be issued to adults, children or to organisations which provide care. They can be used by badge holders who are drivers or travelling as passengers in any vehicle. It is illegal for other people such as friends or relatives to use the badge when the badge holder is not travelling with them.
You can apply for or renew a Blue Badge on the Scottish Government website. Alternatively, you can download a paper application.
