You will also need to upload or email the bluebadge@coventry.gov.uk with a passport sized photograph and any evidence needed to support your application. These can also be posted to the Blue Badge Team at Coventry City Council, PO Box 15, Council House, Coventry, CV1 5RR. Please do not send originals in the post as they cannot be returned.

Equalities Act 2010: should you require a reasonable adjustment or assistance to complete an application for a Blue Badge, please contact 08085 834 333.

If you are unable to apply or renew online, please consider asking a friend or relative to help you since it’s the quickest way to apply. If you are still unable to apply online call 08085 834 333 to request a paper application form to be sent to you. Please write your name on the reverse if you are sending your photo in the post.

Individuals with a "Hidden Disability"

As well as applying using the link in the section above, you may need to ask a Health or Social care professional to complete an HD02 form for you. The reason for this is that Coventry City Council want to get as much information as possible so that we can fairly assess people with a hidden disability, within the guidelines set out by the Department for Transport, who might qualify for a blue badge. As it is not possible for us to directly employ people with experience in all these areas, we rely on the expert knowledge of other health professionals to guide us when making our decision.

Once we have received and reviewed your application we will send you an HD02 form or provide you with a link to pass to your Health or Social care professional.

Payment

We will contact you to request a £10 online payment once we are ready to issue your Blue Badge. Alternatively you can send a cheque or postal order made payable to Coventry City Council, to the Blue Badge team, Coventry City Council, PO Box 15, Council House, Coventry, CV1 5RR
