The quickest and easiest way to confirm your eligibility is adding and verifying your NHS work email address during the application. If this doesn't work, we'll need to see one of the below matching the name on your Blue Light Card account.
Our team may use information on your company's website along with your work ID to review your application:
Approved forms of ID:
Work ID card/NHS smart card showing:
- Name
- NHS, hospice or employer working in partnership with the NHS
Payslip showing:
- Name
- NHS, hospice or employer working in partnership with the NHS
- Dated within 3 months
- Self-employed GPs can provide an invoice showing name and practice
Reasons why your ID might be declined:
- The name on your ID card/payslip doesn't match your account
- Your payslip did not show a date from within the last 3 months
- The team were unable to find affiliation to the NHS from your ID card/payslip
Have you retired from the NHS?
Make sure you select 'Retired NHS' from the trust/division list when signing up! Find out more information about ID to be provided here.
If you have retired since you first signed up and are renewing your card, you'll be able to update your employment details as the first stage of renewing your card.
