## Resource

Over 3 million people in England now hold a Blue Badge—up 228,000 from last year—meaning more than 5% of the population has access to disabled parking. But here’s the catch: these badges expire after three years and require renewal, or you could face a $1,000 fine. Processing can take up to 12 weeks, whether you’re applying new or renewing. Even past badge holders aren’t guaranteed approval—local councils review each case with strict evidence requirements. Stay updated to avoid penalties.
