Blue Badge Confirmation Email

Options
Does anyone know if I can use the DfT confirmation email to use as proof before my blue badge arrives?
The email dated 21/07/2022 states that the start date is Thursday 22nd and can take up to 10 days to arrive but I still don’t have the badge and I need to use it tomorrow.

Many thanks in advance.

    I would say definitely not. I can't honestly see a traffic warden accepting that at all. You need to wait for the BB to arrive.

    No chance.
    All the rules say you have to
    ' Display' your Blue Badge .
    You have not got one to display.

    You've posted on a thread that's 1 year old so i would think the OP has now received it.
