Apply for a Fair4All Card
The application process for a Fair4All Card is designed to be straightforward and supportive. When you are applying for a Fair4all card you are required to provide evidence of your disability and the reasonable adjustments you are entitled to. We can help you through this process and support you to find the right evidence.
Once approved, the card will display your photo and a list of adjustments and exemptions you are entitled to, making it easier for you to communicate your needs in various settings.
Card Holder FAQ
We do not charge for the card itself. However, we do ask for an administration fee of £5 to cover the cost of producing the card.
However, we do not want money to be a barrier to accessibility. If you have any difficulty paying the fee, please email us at fair4allcard.appy@buds.org.uk. and we will work with you to reduce/waive the fee.
Once we have received your application, one of our case workers will review it and make sure that your form is complete and that you have provided evidence. After this, one of our managers will assess the form, and if specialist knowledge is needed, they will direct it to one of our pan-disability experts.
If we need more evidence from you, the case worker will contact you to check any details that may be missing to make sure that we can support you as much as possible.
Once your application has been approved, we can then create the card for you and get it posted ready for you to use.

You can also provide any other documents you may have access to, the documents suggested above are simply examples.
Our initial suggestion for suitable evidence would be a diagnosis letter, care plan, specialist report, or professional letter that explains how your condition affects you in daily life.
Please note that a Blue Badge, benefit award letter, or medication list can’t be accepted on its own, as they can be issued for many different reasons.
No. The Fair4All Card does not tell other people about the disabilities or conditions that you have. That information is viewed only by the people involved in your application, and they have all completed data protection training, as well as a thorough training process.
Your card will only show the exemptions or reasonable adjustments that you are entitled to. The only information that is shown on the card is ways other people can help you as a card-holder.
