    All students, elementary to college-age, must first obtain an application (177KB PDF, Adobe® Acrobat plugin required) from their schools or online, fill it out and mail it (college/vocational students - take it in person) to a Metro Customer Center for processing.  There is a $1 fee and you must supply a photo of yourself.  A photo ID will be made and mailed to you.  After you receive it in the mail, buy a $20 or $30 stamp, depending on your school level, good for that month's unlimited travel on the bus or train.  Every month you will need to buy a new stamp from a Metro Customer Center or outlet that sell stamps, tokens and monthly passes.
