Default half-fare 16+ Oyster Card

Can a 16-year-old California resident obtain a half-fare 16+ Oyster
Card? It seems like this is possible but I keep reading mixed
messages. Even if it is possible, it seems like the 16-year-old (my
daughter) would have to travel to London just to submit the
application at a London post office. Is this true or is there an
alternative? We are in London for six days in late summer. Thanks,
mates!

Try https://photocard.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/got...Plus&from=home

The card has to be collected on arrival in London from a Travel
Information Centre.

That's exactly what I needed -- thanks a bunch! I got the card
ordered and will be able to pick it up at Heathrow on the day we
arrive. Should I also purchase Oyster Cards for my wife and me on-
line too or is it better to just wait to buy them at the same Travel
Information Centre at Heathrow123?
