Eligibility and application for a free disabled person's bus pass

Free bus passes explained

Eligibility

You may be eligible for a free bus pass if you're a Surrey resident with an eligible disability.

There are seven types of disability which can entitle you to a disabled bus pass. These are defined by the Department for Transport. You will need to provide recent proof of your disability during the application process.

See our seven categories and proof documents guide for more information. Make sure correct and full-page images of documents are included, as incorrect proof will delay your application.
