What do I do when I receive
my card?
You will need to attach a passport sized photo to your card and
then seal it in the self-sealing laminate pouch provided with the
card. Your card will not be valid until you have done this.
What happens if my

If a card is stolen, a free card can usually be obtained if you
report the incident to the police and provide the County Council
with a valid crime reference number.
If a card is lost we can normally replace this for a charge of
£20.00. Cheques should be made payable to Worcestershire
County Council and sent to:
Education Travel Travel
Worcestershire County Council
County Hall
Spetchley Road
Worcester

along with a covering note to identify the student.
If a card becomes unreadable a replacement will be required.
Please note there is normally a limit of one replacement card per
term.
How do I renew my card each
term?
There's no need to re-apply each term. We'll send out a payment
request letter in advance and, as soon as we've received your
payment, we'll send out your replacement card for the next term. If
you don't want the card for the following term, simply return the
reply slip on the payment request letter to let us know.
Or why not pay annually and enjoy a discount?
