P&O Passenger Information
UK school groups travelling from Dover to Calais with P&O Ferries (individual passports only):
A new processing system is now in place to reduce coach processing times for school groups travelling to France.
Please see this link for full instructions: Dover to Calais school trips - GOV.UK
A blank spreadsheet to complete is available here: Excel Spreadsheet for passenger details, one per coach is required
The completed spreadsheet and evidence of school eligibility should be sent to: docaschoolgroups@poferries.com. This must be done at least 72 hours before travel.
A label to display in the coach is available here: Port of Dover Moana Label
Please note that this process is optional - if you decide to opt out then please follow the 'Other groups' instructions below.
Other groups:
Please take a hard copy of your 'PGL Coach list' for each leg of the journey, to hand in at port.
If all or any members of your party are using a Group Passport, please inform us promptly (a minimum of 7 days before travel) as we need to advise the ferry operator prior to travel.
All groups:
While not currently mandatory, we recommend using P&O's app to scan your passports.
You can start scanning your passports 72hrs before your ferry departure time but do not click 'Finish' until you get on the coach, as you will require the coach registration and driver information.
If you start this process before getting on the coach, you will need to enter a fictitious vehicle registration and then once on the coach, use the back button to amend it.
Here are the P&O Group App instructions.
