Declaration

I declare that:

  • To the best of my knowledge, the information given on this form is correct and complete;

  • If my application is successful and my child is awarded a Zero Fare pass, I will immediately return it to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority if my child moves house or changes school; failure to do so may be fraud.
