About to receive papers for travel (4)
I believe the answer is:
ride
'travel' is the definition.
(riding is a kind of travelling)
'about to receive papers' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding**).
'to receive' indicates putting letters inside.
'papers' becomes 'id' (identification papers).
're' placed around 'id' is 'RIDE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "Journey on horse?" , "Travel (on a bike, perhaps)" , "Travel on (a bicycle)" , "Sally" , "Take journey" .)
