Getting a Student Leap Card
To get the Student Leap Card, you need to buy the Leap Card online.
Once you have done the following steps, you can pick it up at one of the drop-off centres (e.g. at the Do Dublin building on O’Connell Street near The Spire between McDonald’s and Carrolls).
Go to the following link, where it says “Card Type”: Select “Student”.
In the next step, you’ll need to enter your date of birth and accept the terms.
Where it says “Take a photo”: Upload or take a photo, this photo will appear on your Student Leap Card (It is recommended to follow the rules of the photos).
Once the photo is selected, a button will appear that says “Confirm Photo”, confirm the photo and then press “Next”.
The next step will be to fill up your personal details.
Finally, enter the amount of credit that you believe is convenient to obtain the card (It is recommended that where it says “Top-Up Travel credit” is charged at least 10 euros). You will then receive an email confirming your purchase. To pick up your student card you have to go to one of the offices (you will find an address at the beginning of this document).
You may have to present a document from the school (the Enrolment Letter will do) and the e-mail you received with the confirmation of the purchase of the card.
