How to get your NHS Covid Pass Letter

You can get a letter directly from the NHS to show your Covid 19 status.

This is the only way to get your letter – your GP cannot provide this for you.

There are two letters:

• one for travel abroad
• one for entry to domestic events and venues

You can use this service if the following apply:

• you are fully vaccinated with a Covid-19 vaccine used in the UK
• you had your vaccination in the UK or certain countries abroad
• you are registered with a GP in England or the Isle of Man

Travel abroad

To apply for a letter for travel abroad you need to:

• be 12 or over
• wait 5 days after you are fully vaccinated

Domestic events and venues

To apply for a letter for domestic events and venues you need to:

• be 18 or over
• wait 2 weeks after you are fully vaccinated

For Medical Exemptions

You can apply for an NHS Covid Pass letter if you have a medical exemption from Covid-19 vaccination or testing.  You can use this letter for entry to domestic events and venues.  Please note that you need to contact 119 to apply for an exemption form – your GP cannot do this for you.

Further information and details on how to apply can be found on the NHS Website.
