School travel pass: Duplicate application

You can apply for a duplicate pass if the original has been lost, stolen or damaged.

You can do this online, or pay by debit or credit card at any One Stop Shop.

Before you apply

• If your child does not have Special Educational Needs, apply below.

Charges

The fee for a replacement Merseytravel pass is £10, and £25 for an Arriva pass.

1. Pay first

You must pay the fee online before you apply as you will need to quote your payment reference.

You'll be asked to select either an Arriva or Merseytravel travel pass. Once you've done that the cost will automatically be displayed.

Remember to make a note of your payment reference number.

2. Apply

Apply online below via the Citizen Portal - you will already have an account if you have applied for a Reception or Year 7 place.

If you don't have an account, you can register for one. Not sure how to register? See our step-by-step guide to register for a Citizen Portal account.

You will need:

• Your payment reference number.
• A digital passport style photograph of your child (head and shoulder shot). A photo is not required for bus only travel applications. Read the guidance on GOV.UK for passport photo requirements

You will be prompted to upload the photograph during the application process. 

You can upload images from your computer, tablet or mobile device. If you prefer to send them by post or email, you can do this after you have submitted your application.
