HOLMFIRTH Library has become the latest facility in the area to start issuing Kirklees Passports.

It brings the number of libraries in the district that issue the documents up to eight.

Kirklees Passports are also available at Meltham, Shepley, Birstall, Birkby and Fartown, Lindley, Deighton and Skelmanthorpe Library and Information Centres.

In addition, the passports are issued at the Kirklees Information Points in Civic Centre 1 in Huddersfield, at Dewsbury Town Hall, and at Peel Street, in Marsden.

Applicants will need to provide their own photograph when they apply for a Kirklees Passport at any of the libraries.

Any resident of Kirklees who is receiving certain benefits, such as council tax or housing benefit, or certain types of tax credit, qualifies for the special card.

Full-time students over 16, people with a disability and those who are registered as unemployed are also eligible for the new passports.
