About this app

Blue Envelope Companion helps people whose disability affects communication prepare for interactions with law enforcement — calmly, clearly, and on their own terms.

Getting pulled over is stressful for anyone. It's harder when a disability affects how you speak or respond, and an officer doesn't know what's going on. The Blue Envelope is a simple idea used by police programs across the country to close that gap. This free app puts it in your pocket.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- My Info — save your name, emergency contacts, your condition in your own words, and your communication needs
- Show an Officer — pull up a big, high-contrast screen that clearly explains you may need extra time or may communicate differently
- Print — turn your details into a ready-to-print Blue Envelope note and a wallet card to keep in your vehicle
- English and Spanish, with accessibility options built in

COMPLETELY FREE AND PRIVATE
Blue Envelope Companion is free. There are no ads and no subscriptions. Everything you enter stays on your device — nothing is uploaded, collected, or shared. There is no account and no login.

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone whose disability may affect communication during a traffic stop or other encounter — including people with autism, PTSD, hearing loss, speech differences, anxiety, or other conditions — and the families who support them.

ABOUT THE BLUE ENVELOPE
The Blue Envelope started in Connecticut in 2020 to help drivers on the autism spectrum, and has since grown into programs across many states. This app is a personal tool to help you prepare and carry your information. It is not affiliated with any government or law-enforcement program. Where an official Blue Envelope program exists in your area, get the physical envelope from your participating agency.

Blue Envelope Companion does not change whether you receive a ticket, and it makes no medical or legal claims. Its purpose is simple: a calmer, safer interaction for you and for the officer.
