Renewing your OPUS card in 3 easy steps

With the new school year just around the corner, it’s time for high school, CEGEP and university students to renew their OPUS cards with photo ID. Whether you renew yours online or at a ticket office, here are some tips to help you avoid any hassle.

Don’t wait until the last minute. Even if your card expires on October 31, you can renew it as early as August 1.

1. Get informed

Make sure you have your ID and documentation proving your full-time student status. Check if your parents have to sign the form and if you need a certificate from your school. Find out what pieces of ID are accepted. Go to STLaval.ca/student to learn more.  

2. Prepare

Once you know what you need to do:

• If your school doesn’t give you the option to order online, book an appointment at a ticket office.  You’ll get the same great service no matter where you go, but we’ll let you in on a secret: the lines are always shorter at the Cartier ticket office. 
• Complete the form.  
• Gather the required documents (pieces of ID and certificate if needed).
• Have $15 ready to pay the fee.

3. Go to a ticket office

That’s it! Head to a ticket office to have your card issued. If looks are important to you, do your hair before you go because you won’t be allowed to wear a hat or a cap for the photo. Once you’re there, follow the staff’s instructions carefully.

You're done!

Now that you have your card, you can buy transit tickets or monthly passes.
