Government issued proof of age and a passport sized picture.

Answer 3

If you're buying online, you will need a valid UK passport or driving licence number to verify your eligibility. To complete the application process you also need to upload a digital passport style photo.

If you're applying for your first Railcard at a staffed train station, or rail appointed travel agent you'll need one of the following to prove your age:

Birth certificate

Passport

Driving licence

ISIC card

NUS cards are not accepted as proof of age.

You'll also need a passport size photograph and £24. Stations and agents accept cash, cheques, debit, credit and charge cards or postal orders.

If you're renewing your Railcard then you'll need to complete the application form, and take your:

Existing Railcard

Photocard

£24

These will automatically be accepted as proof of age.
