You can access your COVID-19 vaccination status through the free NHS App from 17 May. You can access the app through mobile devices such as a smartphone or by tablet. Proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status will be shown within the NHS App. We recommend that you register with the app before booking international travel.

If you do not have access to a smartphone and know that the country you are travelling to requires COVID-19 vaccination status, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine. We expect the letter to take up to 5 days to reach you.

Please do not contact your GP surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status. GP Practices cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status.

What if I have a different Covid-19 travel query?

Many patients are asking for:

• exemption from masks (for airlines)
• covid passport support
• other travel related requests.

We will help where can.

Please note:

• There will be a charge
• there will be a delay as we must put the care of our unwell patients first
