The quickest and easiest way to confirm your eligibility is adding and verifying your Fire & Rescue service 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:
Work ID card showing:
- Name
- Fire Service employer
Payslip showing:
- Name
- Fire Service employer
- Dated within 3 months
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 a fire and rescue service from your ID card/payslip
Have you retired from the Fire Service?
Make sure you select 'Retired Fire Service' 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.
