Blue Cards in a Nutshell

Need a blue card?

Does a member need to apply for a blue card or perhaps they need to renew an old one? Applicants should now apply for, or apply to renew their blue card, online. Applicants can still use paper forms if they want to but the online forms are the preferred method, it being much easier and faster. Online applications are done via the Blue Card Services (BCS) website .

Remember you can call or email Blue Card Services (BCS) if you need help. Their friendly team can talk you through your application over the phone.

New processes for online and paper forms are effective from Monday 31 August 2020. All previous versions of application forms will no longer be accepted. The major difference is that applicants now apply for their blue cards online themselves.

The process for applying for and renewing an existing blue card alters slightly from time to time. The following represents a 'general guide' and was updated January 2023. The primary purpose of this page is to provide a very basic overview for Club Administrators. It simply points to relevant sections of the Blue Card Services (BCS) Website. The BCS Website contains a great deal of helpful details.

IMPORTANT

It is important that applicants have their ID handy, e.g. Driver's License, 18+ Card, etc, as the CRN from such documents is required.

Club/Association officials will be required to 'link' applicants to their organisation.

As a last resort applicants can still download, print and complete a PDF (paper) application form. These forms no longer appear to support electronic completion meaning that they must be filled in by hand and sent to BHA for completion. The applicant is responsible to obtain (download) the paper version of the application form from the BCS Website. Applicants will be required to enter their CRN on the paper forms.
