Applicants will need to have all of the student’s information (including details of the establishment that they are going to attend), a passport style photo in the appropriate format and a credit or debit card for payment. Payments must be paid to KCC and should not be sent to the school. The full payment is £500, but you can also apply to pay in instalments.

All cards will be issued at the beginning of the September term. Please note that if you apply for a Travel Saver card after 1 August 2022, you may need to wait up to 28 working days for KCC to send the pass to your school and it may not be ready to collect at the start of term.
