EU & UK BLUE BADGES BOTH RECOGNISED IN CYPRUS
Â
PARKING ENTITLEMENTS FOR BLUE BADGE HOLDERS
Blue badges provide parking entitlements for people with disabilities and Cyprus recognises all EU and UK blue badges. There are a number of parking bays marked with the blue and white wheelchair disability sign for blue badge holders all over the island. A blue badge holder may also park free of charge and without a time limit on roads where payment is required. Some public car parks also allow blue badge holders to park free of charge.
BLUE BADGE APPROVAL
In 2007, the Cyprus Parliament approved the use of blue badges, coming in line with the rest of the EU. Cypriot authorities introduced their own blue badge scheme and allowed the use of all EU Blue Badges to operate on the island. The installation of designated parking places for blue badge holders followed and they were promptly installed throughout the island on both public roads and in private parking areas.

CYPRUS BLUE BADGES
Cyprus residents can apply for a blue badge in Cyprus and user guidelines are available from the Department for Social Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities. The authority responsible for issuing blue badges is the Service for the Care and Rehabilitation of the Disabled, which is part of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance.Â
