Covid-19 Vaccination Proof
The NHS app has been improved to allow patients to use it as proof of their Covid-19 vaccination status if required. NHS England recommend downloading the free app and registering before booking international travel.
For patients who do not use a smartphone or tablet please call the NHS Helpline on 119 and request a paper vaccination statement (at least 5 days after receiving the second dose). Letters should be received within 5 working days.
Please note that unfortunately the new COVID Pass service is not available for users who don’t have their own unique account and instead manage their account as a Proxy/ Linked Profile. A paper statement must be requested from 119 instead.
Please do not request a paper statement from the surgery as we are unable to provide them.

Covid Certificates
People in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can use the NHS COVID PASS to demonstrate their COVID-19 Status. If you’re aged 18 or over, you can get an NHS COVID Pass for domestic venues and events.
If you’re aged 12 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.
A full course is currently two doses of the Moderna, AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine, or one dose of the Janssen single-dose vaccine. Vaccine status will be available through the NHS COVID Pass service from:
- the NHS App which you can download from app stores
- the NHS website
- 119 - by requesting a paper letter
You will need to register to use the online services, if you have not already. It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified.
If you cannot access the online services, and you have had both doses of the vaccine, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119. Only call 119 if you are due to travel outside the UK in the near future and have had your second dose (or one dose of the Janssen single-dose vaccine) more than 5 working days ago. It may take up to 5 working days for the letter to arrive.
This practice is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status. Please do not contact the practice about your COVID-19 vaccination status unless you have been advised to by the 119 service.
When you're planning your travel, you should check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website. Make sure there is enough time to get proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status before you are due to travel.
