About the Senior Identification Card

Am I eligible to receive the Senior ID card?

You must be 65 years of age or older and a resident of Brampton to be eligible to receive an ID card. Non-resident seniors, and seniors without a Brampton Transit photo ID card, must pay the full cash fare or use PRESTO to board the bus.

How do I get the Senior ID card?

To get the card, you must present one piece of documentation from each of the following sections. The documents must be dated within the past 6 months.

What to bring:

1. Proof of Brampton address

• Driver’s license/Ontario Photo ID Card
• Household bill (telephone, TV, hydro, gas or water)
• Bank/credit card statement
• Statement of government benefits (employment insurance, old age security, social assistance or disability support)
• Property tax bill

2. Proof of Identity
One piece of valid government-issued identification that includes a photograph, name, and date of birth must be presented. Acceptable forms include:

• Driver’s license
