For a West Lothian bus pass application, you’ll usually need proof of who you are, where you live, and a passport-style photo. If it’s a disabled bus pass, you may also need proof of your disability entitlement.
| Document | What West Lothian says you need |
|---|---|
| Passport-style photograph | Head and shoulders only, on a white background, with no other objects or people behind you |
| Proof of age | Required for new applications |
| Proof of current address | Required |
| Proof of disability entitlement | Only if required for the pass type |
| Proof of photograph for new applications | A copy of your passport or driving licence |
If you’re applying by post, West Lothian says not to send originals — send photocopies of supporting evidence, but include an original, up-to-date passport-style photograph signed on the back. If you apply by email, good quality colour photos of your evidence are accepted, and mobile device photos are currently being accepted.
