Details

Your NHS COVID Pass letter is used for travel abroad and to show others that you have had a full course of the COVID-19 vaccine (including a booster vaccination if you have received one).

You should get the letter within 7 working days of requesting one.

If you do not have access to a smartphone, computer or tablet, you can request a letter by calling 119 from within the UK. Select the ‘NHS COVID Pass service’ and ask for an NHS COVID Pass letter to be posted to you.
