    :p Sorry for the random nature of this thread but I was just wondering, what age do you have to be to obtain a Student Travel Card?.
    Thanks!

    Just have to be a student! Most people get them at 16 when they're no longer eligible to travel as a child. You need to get your school to stamp and sign some stuff and that's it!

    It is, until you get caught.
    Far easier get Maynooth to stamp a new card for you and do it legit.

    I thought you had to be under 19 to use one? Do universities stamp them for you too?

    Your card is still valid even if you have left the school, they never check to see if you are still going there!

    Most unis have an office where you can get it there on the spot. No age limit that I know of, so if you are in uni you can use one. I'm 22 and still using it!

    Most student union's will issue them on the spot for you.
