If you hold a valid Blue Badge in the European Economic Area, you're eligible to register for a 100% discount, even if you don't own a vehicle or drive. (If you have an organisation Blue Badge or are applying on behalf of another person, for example a child, please see 'Applying for Blue Badge discount on behalf of someone else' below).
You can register up to two vehicles that you would normally use to travel within the Congestion Charge zone. This could be your own vehicle, or one you travel in.
You can apply for a discount online but you'll need to supply certain documents to show you're entitled to the discount.
Documents you need to provide
You need to provide us with a copy of both sides of your Blue Badge plus one of the following proofs of identity:
- DSS benefit entitlement letter (less than 7 months old)
- Current passport
- Current driver's licence
- Pension book/entitlement letter (less than 7 months old)
- Birth certificate (same first and last names as the Blue Badge. Not a Certificate of Registration of Birth)
- Marriage certificate (same first and last names as the Blue Badge)
- Current bank or credit card Statement (no more than 3 months old)
- Deed Poll Certificate (same first and last names as the Blue Badge)
You can upload images of these documents as part of your online application, or you can send copies by post or email later on.
Until we confirm your application is successful you must pay the charge for journeys within the zone.
Cost
You have to pay £10 to register for the Blue Badge discount. This will need to be renewed in line with your Blue Badge expiry date. As long as you renew within 90 days after the expiry date, you will not need to make a further payment.
