If your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) has expired or is about to expire, you can renew it for free. The EHIC lets you get free or reduced-cost medical treatment in European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland.
To renew your card, you'll need to fill in a form on the NHS website. You'll need to provide:
Your name and address
Your date of birth
Your national insurance number or NHS number (found on your prescriptions or other correspondence from the NHS)
You should receive your new card within 7-10 days. If you haven't received it after this time, contact the EHIC team on 0300 330 1350 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm).
