Applying for a Blue Badge

A Blue Badge helps you park closer to your destination if you're disabled.

You can get a Blue Badge to park in disabled parking spaces if:

• you can’t walk or find walking very difficult and need to rest every 100 metres. This must be from a permanent or substantial disability
  
• you’re visually impaired. You must be registered with EYECAN
  

Badges cost £15 and are valid for up to 3 years.

Your doctor has to complete part of the form to confirm your disability and you need to provide 2 passport size photos.

Apply for or renew a disabled Blue Badge on Parish of St Helier website​

Misuses of badges or disabled parking

​The badge is issued to you and you can use it in any vehicle. You don’t have to drive but you must always be present in the vehicle when the badge is used.

It’s a criminal offence to let someone use your badge if you’re not in the vehicle with them. Your badge can be automatically cancelled and you can be fined.

You must not:

• use your badge after its expiry date
• park on yellow lines
• let anyone else use your badge if you’re not with them. This includes if someone runs errands for you and you stay home, or they drop you off and then park in a disabled parking space
  

Reporting misuses

You can report someone using a Blue Badge or disabled parking spaces incorrectly:

• call Parking Control Office on +44 (0) 1534 448669
• email dfiparkingcontrol@gov.je​

Include as much information as you can, such as:

• location
• date and time
• registration number
• Blue B​​adge number​
  

How to ​pay for parking and display your badge

• marked on-street disabled spaces
