Companion e-badge

Companion e-badge explained

The companion e-badge is an electronic parking badge which is issued free of charge to blue badge holders in Hackney that meet the eligibility criteria set out below.

It gives holders the benefit and security of not having to display their blue badge in their vehicle when parking in their home zone just like a residents permit.

Disabled residents who pass the mobility assessment to obtain a personalised permit bay will also be issued a companion e-badge which will be linked to their bay.

Companion e-badges are not valid in any type of bay on estates unless you have been allocated a personalised permit bay. However, blue badge holders can apply for a free estate resident permit which can be used instead of the blue badge and clock, to park in their home estate.
