Help us process your application as quickly as possible by following our top tips. Any errors in your application may mean that your card will take longer to process and/or may result in your application being returned to you.

1. Complete PART A of the application form using CAPITAL LETTERS and black ink. Parents can complete and sign the application form for younger children and children with special educational needs.

If you are moving to a new school or college, please ensure that this address is entered in this section under 'Delivery Address'.

Please note that you no longer need to have your application form signed off at your school or college.

2. In addition you will need to provide ONE passport style photograph with your application. This must:

  • Be a recent, colour photograph of the head and shoulders, in sharp focus with the entire face visible
  • Show you with a neutral expression with your mouth closed and eyes open, looking directly at the camera
  • Not show you wearing a hat or anything that covers your face and it must be free of glare from glasses, etc.
  • Be taken against a light, plain background
  • Be taken by a Passport Office approved photo service e.g. photo booth, post office, local film processing service, etc. and be reproduced in standard passport size

Please do not attach the photograph to the form in any way, for example with glue, staples or paper clips. Please also write your name on the reverse of the photograph.
