NHS COVID Passport

NHS COVID Passport

With the travel industry starting to open back up, many are requiring the proof of vaccination to demonstrate your Coronavirus status. To do this you will require a NHS COVID Passport.

*Please note, COVID Passports will not be the only requirement for travel. Please check the rules for the country you are travelling to. Failure to not follow all requirements may result in entry being denied.

What is a COVID Passport?

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.

Who can get a COVID Passport?

If you’re aged 18 or over, you can get an NHS COVID Pass for travel, domestic venues and events.

If you’re aged 16 or over you can get an NHS COVID Pass for travel abroad but you should follow the entry requirements of the country you are travelling to.

Children are not currently being vaccinated against COVID-19. Therefore, those under 18 should not have to demonstrate their COVID-19 status for entry to domestic events or venues.
