Where can I park if I hold a Blue Badge? A Blue Badge helps drivers or passengers with severe mobility problems to park close to their destination. More details can be found on the Department for Transport Blue Badge website. Please note: the badge is intended for on-street parking only. Off-street car parks use separate rules. How can I apply for a Blue Badge? Where can I park if I hold a Blue Badge? Price: Free of charge. Please park in a disabled parking bay. You may also use a regular bay free of charge if no disabled bays are available. Please note: you cannot stay longer than the maximum waiting time in any car park. Residents bays: Blue badge holders may not park in bays reserved for residents. If you reside within the Controlled Parking Zone you can apply for a residents permit.

If your application for the scheme is approved you will get a second email (up to 7 days later) to confirm we have approved your permit. In that email there will be a link so that you can make your £10 payment securely online. You can only park once you have paid for your permit and received a third email. Please do not park until you receive the third email to confirm you are valid to park. It is very important that you only provide the documents as detailed above. If you provide any other documents we will not be able to approve your application. It will also delay the date on which you may be able to start parking. Do I still need to display my Blue Badge if I have registered? If you park a registered vehicle in a Cornwall Council car park you must still display a valid Blue Badge and clock. You must also abide by the other appropriate rules.

Failure to do so and you could be subject to receiving a penalty charge notice. How do I change my vehicle details? Changes to vehicles registration details are free. You will need to provide a copy of the new V5C document. Please read the Terms and Conditions. Changes cannot be completed via ZatPermit. To request a change please email parkingpermitenquiries@cornwall.gov.uk attaching your new document. Or call 0300 1234 222 for advice or to send a message to the Permit Team. Changes to our system can take up to 5 days to process so they need to be advised in advance. I have to apply each year, how do I register again? You can apply via ZatPermit each year. When you do that you can choose either the SMS (a 10p charge applies) and/or the free email option to get a reminder. For those who do not use ZatPermit a reminder letter will automatically be sent via the post . We must have confirmation that you are eligible for the Scheme each year so you will need to provide a V5C or Motability confirmation letter again . How does the exemption scheme work? You will not receive a permit to display in your vehicle as we use an electronic system. Once approved, the vehicle details will be automatically loaded onto the Enforcement Officers hand-held devices. When checking our car parks they will be able to see that the vehicle is registered and does not require a pay and display ticket. There is a different free parking exemption scheme for the disabled if you have an adapted vehicle. You may need to register with us for this if you are wanting to use some of our car parks.

From the June 2020 issue of Car and Driver. Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, those ubiquitous blue parking permits have allowed drivers with disabilities to park in prime spaces, often for free and with no time limits. It didn't take long for scammers to realize that disability placards could also be a valuable commodity for those whose only affliction is a distaste for following the rules. Across the country, the rampant illegal use of these placards makes life even more challenging for disabled drivers, as it leaves fewer spots available for those who need them. In the absence of federal standards, states and municipalities are writing their own rules to discourage placard theft, but the regulations are all over the map.

Massachusetts, New Mexico, and South Carolina require ID photos on disability placards. In Los Angeles, officials conduct compliance checks four times a month throughout the city.
