Blue Badge Scheme
The Blue Badge Scheme is a national arrangement of parking concessions.
In Denbighshire, Blue Badges can be used at some of the car parks but please note that all Blue Badge holders (except vehicles fitted with hand controls) are required to pay in these car parks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can apply for a badge if:
- you receive the higher rate of the mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance.
- you receive a War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement.
- you are registered blind.
- you have a severe disability in both upper limbs, regularly drive a motor vehicle but cannot turn the steering wheel of a motor vehicle by hand even if that wheel is fitted with a turning knob.
- you have a permanent and substantial disability which means you are unable to walk or have very considerable difficulty in walking.
- you are aged 80 years or older.
You can apply for a Blue Badge by contacting our Blue Badge department (please see link on the right for contact details) or by completing, printing and returning the attached form. Once you have applied for a badge, the administration process is normally within 2 working weeks but may be longer if information is required from your GP. The badge lasts for 3 years and when it is up for renewal, you will need to re-apply for another badge – we will not send out a reminder.

Blue Badge Application
On submission of an application form, the £2 admin fee, photos and supporting documentation will also be required to be submitted. If you are successful in qualifying for a badge we will forward the badge to you. You can hand in your documentation / information to any of our One Stop Shops.
If you are unsuccessful in qualifying for a badge, we will write to you and send information about other help that may be of assistance.
If you wish to speak to someone then please contact:
Blue Badge Administrator in Rhyl on 01824 712800 or Ruthin on 01824 712400

The Blue Badge is a two-sided card with a space for a photograph of the badge holder on the back of the card. When applying for the badge you will be asked to send in 2 recent photographs of the badge holder (photos must be of passport photo size).
You must display the badge on top of the dashboard or facia panel of a vehicle with the front of the badge (i.e. the side showing the wheelchair-used symbol) facing forward so that the expiry date is legible from outside of the vehicle when parking.
