As soon as your booking is confirmed, a confirmation email will land in your inbox. What happens next with your boarding pass depends on the operator you've booked.
Some operators issue boarding passes right away, while others need you to check in at the port itself. Where it's supported, the Direct Ferries app lets you check in online in advance.
You'll usually find ticket desks close to the ferry terminal. Giving yourself a little extra time before departure means you can collect tickets and check in without any stress.
Bring your confirmation email and valid photo ID, such as a passport or identity card, to check in. Pet owners should have vaccination and insurance documents on hand, and anyone with a resident discount should carry proof of address.

The town of Weymouth is located on the English south coast in the county of Dorset. The town lies at the mouth of the River Wey and on the English Channel coast, and is roughly 13 km to the south of Dorchester and 8 km to the north of the Isle of Portland. The town is regarded as the gateway to England's Jurassic Coast which stretches along the Dorset and Devon coasts and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cross channel ferries, pleasure boats and private yachts all use Weymouth's harbour and nearby Portland Harbour is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. This is where the sailing events of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games were held.
Weymouth's port has good facilities for passengers and freight and is a busy little harbour with services departing to the French coast and to the Channel Islands. Services to St Helier on Jersey have a crossing time of around 3 hours and 35 minutes and crossings to St Peter Port on Guernsey have a crossing time of around 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Although St. Malo may not be one of the biggest cities in the Brittany area of France, it is close to Mont Saint Michel and is a really good base for visitors to explore the city and its surrounding area. There are a number of popular attractions in the city with the most historic located along the cobblestone alleys around the walled city. The city's ramparts provide a lovely view of the city and immediate surrounding area and the Cathedrale St. Vincent, located on the Place Jean de Chatillon is the city's centrepiece attraction. Also popular in the city are the Fort National, the Chateau de St. Malo, the amazing Grand Aquarium and the city's lovely sandy beaches.
The city is the final destination for the daily Condor Ferry, which starts in Weymouth, England, stopping off at both Guernsey and Jersey along the way.
