What do I do if I change address?
You need to notify us of this change. We will need proof of your new address and details of your previous address.
The Blue Badge system is a national system, so if you are moving out of the city please contact your new authority who will request the badge records be transferred to them.
What to do if a badge holder passes away?
Please return the badge to us at the Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6ER. If you want, you can cut the photo out before returning the badge to us.
Can I use my Blue Badge abroad?
You can use your Blue Badge throughout the European Union, but this will vary from region to region. You can find out more about using badge in Europe, and further afield, from the Department for Transport website.
Please return any expired, defaced or invalid badges to us to be removed from circulation.
