How to Request a Bus Pass
- Complete an application form either in person, or download one below.
- You must then present the following evidence in person, with your form at either the Nuneaton Town Hall or Bedworth Area Office :-
- A current passport sized photograph (please write your name and address on the reverse)
- Proof of residency, i.e. current utility bill, council tax bill, medical card, bank books etc
- Proof of Age, i.e. birth certificate, passport, driving licence or NHS Medical card. Photocopies are acceptable.
- Once checked your application will be processed and a local Nuneaton and Bedworth pass will be issued initially, this will enable you to travel for free within Warwickshire. This will be posted to you (2nd class) within 5 working days.
- We will also order you a National Pass which will be sent to you separately. This may take up between 2-3 weeks from date of application, as they are printed externally.
- Please note we cannot print your local pass until we have seen proof of residency and age. The passport photo is printed on the pass so we need this before we can produce the pass.
