Application for National Entitlement Card (60 years & over)

Application for National Entitlement Card (60 years & over)

How can I apply for an Age 60+ Bus Pass - National Entitlement Card (NEC)?

If you are 60 soon, apply for your card at least 14 days before your birthday so you get it in time, but you will not be able to use it before that date.

You can apply for your Age 60+ Bus Pass by downloading our application form or by phoning or emailing (see contact details below) and ask for an application form to be posted to your home address.

If you have a passport, photo driving licence or PASS hologrammed card these are acceptable as proof of photograph. If you don't have one of these proofs print out the Photo Form and attach a passport type photograph and have the rest of the form completed by an appropriate referee. The photograph must be a recent (taken within the last 3 months) coloured passport standard photograph. It should be a close-up of your head and shoulders and be a good likeness. Yours features should be clearly distinguishable against the background. The photograph should be 45mm x 35mm in sharp focus and printed on plain white photo quality paper.

After completing your application form you must bring it, along with proof of eligibility and a recent colour passport photo to Kilncraigs, Greenside Street, Alloa, FK10 1EB to allow a member of staff to check your details.

Once your application has been processed your NEC will be posted to your home address.
