Islander Registration
To qualify for the islander resident discount, you must have a residence in either Orkney or Shetland.
The benefits of registering your residency with us, for persons 16 years of age or over, are that you will receive an Islander card with your unique Islander ID and Password for booking online. This will speed up and simplify the reservation process and will also allow you to take advantage of a discount on standard fares for passenger and non-commercial passenger accompanied vehicles. Please note, it may take up to 10 days to receive your Islander card.
When applying for an Islander ID we request identification to validate your name and address. One item of validation is required per applicant. Validation documents should be dated within three months of the application date.
Accepted documentation is detailed below:
- Bank Statement
- Council Tax Bill
- Driving Licence
- DSS Letter (proof of benefits)
- National Concession Scheme Letter
- National Insurance Letter (newly 16 year olds)
