We have launched a new way to apply or renew for a Blue Badge in Sandwell via the MySandwell portal.
If you haven’t got an account set up currently, you will need to register online for MySandwell. It's really easy to register for a MySandwell account. We just need your name, your home address and email address. As before, someone can apply for a Blue Badge on your behalf. They will need to set up an account in their name, or use their existing account if they have one.
You can use your MySandwell account to view your Sandwell council tax, benefits and business rates or housing balances, make payments, request services, report problems and track any enquiries you put into the council.
Once in MySandwell, sign into your account and then select “Apply for a Blue Badge” to start your application process.
You will need to tell us:
- your name, address, date of birth and place of birth
- about your difficulties whilst walking and details of any medical conditions or disabilities that cause you difficulties
- your national insurance number
- details of any previous badge you have held.
We will make contact with you if we require any further information.
You will still be able to access offline support if needed, and someone can help you with your application.
The administration fee for a Blue Badge is £10, which you will now pay for online.
More information
There is more information about the Blue Badge scheme on the Directgov website. If you do not automatically qualify because of the benefits you are on, or another health condition, then we may ask you to provide further medical evidence or ask you to attend a walking assessment with an accredited health professional, to ascertain eligibility for a blue badge.
