When you apply for a Blue Badge, we check adult social care records to confirm if you are registered as severely sight impaired. We also check the electoral register and school admission records if you are applying for a child.

If we are unable to verify your information, we may ask to see evidence of your visual impairment.

Evidence we can accept

We can accept:

• a current Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI) stating 'severely sight impaired (blind)'
• a disabled registration card issued by us

Evidence we cannot accept

We cannot accept:

• GP or clinical letters diagnosing blindness
• CVI stating 'sight impaired' or 'partially sighted'
