We’re currently introducing a new design and are making sure everything works.
Companion badge
Companion badges are now e-badges
Available to all blue badge holders who live and park in Hackney, the companion badge is free and provides additional security against the possibility of blue badge theft. If you live in a controlled parking zone, using your companion badge, you can also park in your home residential parking bays.
Companion badges are now electronic, which means that we are no longer issuing paper badges to display in your vehicle. Civil enforcement officers can tell if an e-badge is valid by entering your vehicle registration number into their handheld device.
Paper badge holders should continue to display their badge until it expires.
If you are applying for a change of vehicle or address to your companion badge, an e-badge will be issued.
It’s quicker and easier to get your car covered with e-badges. Apply for an e-badge today and you will not need to display anything in your vehicle.
