Renewals with My Bus Pass portal

You can apply for a renewal on My Bus Pass Portal up to 6 weeks before the expiry date on your current pass. You will receive the new bus pass 2 weeks before the expiry date on your current pass.

If you apply within 2 weeks of your expiry date you will receive the replacement within 5 working days of the application being received.

Renewals at a library

If your bus pass is about to expire, you can visit one of the issuing libraries up to 10 working days before the date of expiry to apply for your renewal. You need to provide proof of residency and disability for the renewal to be processed.

Replacement pass with My Bus Pass portal

If your pass is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can request a replacement pass on My Bus Pass portal. After applying you will receive an email with a login reference number to make a payment of £7 on the portal. You will receive the replacement within 5 working days of the payment being made.

Replacement pass at a library

If your bus pass is lost, stolen, or damaged, visit one of the issuing libraries as soon as possible for an advisor to raise the request on your behalf. You do not need to complete another application form.

Due to the high volume of replacements issued each year and to avoid the potential for abuse of concessionary passes, the council has introduced a charge of £7 for replacing a bus pass.
