What is Digi-Badge?

By removing the need to display physical badges on dashboards, Digi-Badge protects badge holders from vehicle break-ins, sparing them the stress, anxity, cost, and disruption of repairing damaged vehicles.
Simultaneously, Digi-Badge provides Local Authorities and Private Parking Operators with the digital tools needed to drastically curb fraud, misuse, and abuse improving bay availability for genuine badge holders while safeguarding parking revenue and boosting compliance.
Does Digi-Badge replace the physical Blue Badge?
No. Digi-Badge works alongside the existing Blue Badge scheme. It adds a secure digital layer while supporting the current Blue Badge issued by Local Authorities.

This gives Local Authorities, private parking operators, and law enforcement the live intelligence data required to intercept misuse proactively.
