Any change can raise questions, so we’ve gathered everything you might want to know about our new National Carers Card website into this blog post.
Everything about this website - from the design to the colours to the functionality - has been carefully thought out with the aim of making your life as a carer easier:
Our sister website disabilityid.co.uk, where you previously applied for your National Carers Card, remains dedicated to disabled individuals.
This website is easier to navigate, and we think it looks a lot nicer too! We’re grateful to the amazing team of designers and developers who worked on this with us.
We’ve launched a new blog, featuring help and advice articles to make your life as a carer easier. The blog will be updated regularly with new articles. Click here to read all articles.
We’ve launched a page where Cardholders can see the venues their card is accepted, and all the carer discounts available to them (coming soon). Click here to view all venues and discounts.
You’ll see photos and testimonials across the website showing how other Cardholders are using their cards, and what they say about being a Cardholder.

Yes, your current National Carers Card will remain valid until its expiration date (check the front of your card to see the expiration date). You can use this website to renew your card when the time comes.
Currently, we do not offer a paper application form. We recommend using a smartphone or tablet to complete our application forms online, with assistance if needed.
Yes, your lanyard is still valid. The transition to the new National Carers Card website does not affect the validity of your current lanyard.
If you have any feedback about this new website, we’d love to hear from you: [email protected].
