The photocard Zip Scheme (11-15 and 16+) allows children of the relevant age to travel for free on London's buses and trams and travel at child rate on Tube, DLR, London Overground, TfL Rail the Emirates Air Line and most National Rail services in London.
You'll need to create a web account before you can apply for an Oyster photocard. You will need to verify your date of birth by entering your passport number. Alternatively, you can download a verification letter from your TfL account and take it to a London post office with proof of your age (this can be a passport, European ID card, birth certificate or biometric residency permit). If the documents provide all of the information required, the post office will confirm to TfL that they have verified your age.
