You'll need access to an email account to renew online. Need help setting up an email account?
If your application is successful, your Blue Badge will cost £10. Have your payment card ready.
Alternatively, you can pay by cheque or postal order payable to Oxfordshire County Council. Please do not send payment until requested.
Changes to personal details
You will need to supply additional documents if there have been any changes to your personal details (name, address).
Renewing under Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
You will need to supply additional documents if you are renewing a Blue Badge under the DLA or PIP criteria.
DLA mobility component renewals
Checking with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
We can check your entitlement with the DWP. If you permit us to check your benefit, you do not need to upload your letter from the DWP.
Upload your letter
You do not have to permit us to check with the DWP, but we do need to see proof of your benefit. So, you must provide a photo or scanned image of your most recent Disability Living Allowance uprating letter. The DWP typically sends letters in March confirming your payments from April. Otherwise, you can provide a 'letter of entitlement' dated within the last year.
We need to see your uprating letter, even if the DWP has awarded you DLA for life.
If you upload your letter, it must clearly show:
- your name and address
- the date of the letter
- that you receive the highest rate for the mobility component
- the expiry date of the award.
We will only issue the Blue Badge up to the award's end date.
