This is a scheme to tackle the theft of blue badges from disabled drivers’ vehicles when parked outside their home.

To tackle this problem Haringey has introduced the Companion Badge. The Companion Badge incorporates the vehicle registration number so that it cannot be used on any other vehicle, and is therefore of no value to anyone other than the legitimate holder.

The Companion Badge does not replace the blue badge and can be used 24hours a day and is valid for the life of the blue badge. The Companion Badge cannot be used anywhere outside the borough.

Eligibility

You can apply for a Companion Badge if:

• You hold a valid disabled blue badge and live in Haringey
• Your permanent home address is within the boundary of a parking zone
• You must regularly reside at that address and have continuous residence there
• You must be able to designate only one vehicle to register with the Companion Badge
• The vehicle registration document (V5-Logbook) must be registered to your address

Your vehicle must:

• Have a V5 registration document (logbook)
• Have a valid Road Tax disc
• Be a passenger vehicle built or adapted to carry 8 passengers or fewer, not including the driver

You must also provide proof of address:

This must be no older than 3 months and can be any of the following:

• Residential Utility Bill or
• Bank/Building Society Statement  or
