Photo OPUS card: 
book an appointment at a ticket office

Students 

Between August 1 and October 31. We recommend booking your appointment as early as possible due to high demand at the start of the school year, as well as in late October and early November. 

If your card contains valid fares (for example, a monthly fare), they will be transferred to your new Photo OPUS card, and you can continue using them. There is no need to wait. Regardless of your renewal date, your card will remain valid until October 31 of the following year. 

Adults aged 65 and over 

At any time. The Horizon 65+ fare is valid for 7 years. Make sure to renew your card before it expires. 

Has your OPUS card expired? You can still book an appointment. We can issue a new card and, if applicable, transfer any unused fares from your old card to the new one. 

You can book an appointment for yourself or for someone else, such as your child. The person must be present at the appointment to have their photo taken. If you need to book appointments for more than one person, please schedule a separate appointment for each individual. If you use the same phone number for multiple bookings, you will simply receive multiple messages related to each appointment. 

• Access the appointment booking platform for your preferred ticket office: 
  Montmorency Terminal 
  Cartier Terminal 
• Select the type of OPUS card you need: “Student” or “65+”. 
• Choose an appointment date and time. 
• Enter your contact information. 
• Click “Confirm appointment.” 
• You will receive a confirmation by text message. 

Accidentally deleted your confirmation message? No worries. A reminder will be sent before your appointment time. If needed, you can also search for your appointment on the booking platform to retrieve the details and add it to your calendar. 

Need to cancel or change an appointment? Reply “9” to the confirmation text message, or use the search feature on the booking platform to find and cancel your appointment.

Depending on your situation and whether you are obtaining or renewing a Photo OPUS card, check which documents you need to complete and bring to your appointment.

Parking is also available on site.

A few minutes before your appointment, you will receive a text message. Follow the instructions in the message to confirm your arrival. When a service counter becomes available, you will receive another text message indicating which counter to go to. 

Please allow approximately 10 minutes for your Photo OPUS card to be created. Be sure to bring all required documents to your appointment.

You can visit a metropolitan ticket office without an appointment. However, please note that demand is especially high during the back-to-school period and in the weeks leading up to October 31, when student OPUS cards expire, particularly at the Montmorency ticket office. 

While we do our best to provide quality service to walk-in customers, wait times may be longer. By booking an appointment, you can be sure to be served on time, without waiting.
