National Entitlement Card

Last updated | 19/02/2008

As part of the Customer First programme the Scottish Executive, local councils and other agencies have introduced the National Entitlement Card aimed at making it easier for people to access public services across Scotland.

It is a plastic card similar to a bank or credit card which will enable holders to tap into a range of entitlements and discounts.  Already people in Perth and Kinross are using the card to get access to a variety of services.

How do I apply for a National Entitlement Card?

Telephone the Perth and Kinross Council Customer Service Centre on 01738 475000 and they will send you out a National Entitlement Card application pack.

What if I lose my card?

If you wish to report a lost, stolen or damaged National Entitlement Card please telephone the Perth & Kinross Council Customer Service Centre on 01738 475000.

You do not need to complete another application form and a new card will be posted out and the lost, stolen or damaged card will be cancelled.
