There are many ways to obtain proof of your COVID-19 vaccinations online, please do not contact your GP about this. NHS COVID Pass: what it is The NHS COVID Pass lets you share your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination records or test COVID-19 status in a secure way. It allows you to show others the details of your COVID-19 vaccine (or vaccines) when travelling abroad to some countries or territories. You may be asked to demonstrate your COVID-19 status at places that use the service in England as a condition of entry to a venue or event. The NHS COVID Pass also allows individuals to demonstrate their COVID-19 status at a series of event trials in England taking place until 25 July. What you can use it for International Travel Domestic use in the UK Event trials How to access the NHS COVID Pass Access the NHS COVID Pass through the NHS App You can access your NHS COVID Pass through the free NHS App on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. Proof of your COVID-19 status will be shown within the NHS App. You need to be registered with a GP in England to use the NHS App. If you’re not registered with a GP, you can still access the NHS COVID Pass via the NHS website (NHS.UK) or via 119 (select the ‘NHS COVID Pass service’) to request a letter. We recommend that you register with the app before booking international travel. For access via the NHS App you do not need to contact your GP. The NHS App is not the same as the NHS COVID-19 app. In the NHS App, your COVID-19 status includes a 2D barcode. The expiry date does not apply to your vaccination status. Any expiry date refers only to the barcode and will update automatically each time you go into the NHS App. Access the NHS COVID Pass through the NHS website You can view your COVID-19 status online and download or print it as a PDF document. To access the service, you’ll need to register for an NHS login if you do not have one already. NHS login registrations may take longer than usual when there are high numbers of requests.
