Access your COVID-19 vaccination status

GPs cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status.

NHS App

You can access your COVID-19 vaccination status through the free NHS App. You can access the app through mobile devices such as a smartphone or 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. For access via the NHS App you do not need to contact your GP.

The NHS App will continue to be developed with further updates in the future. This will include the ability to show your COVID-19 test results.

Phone 119

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 119 and ask for a letter to be posted to you.

Request a letter only if you:

• have been fully vaccinated by the NHS in England (you should wait 5 working days after your second dose)
• are planning to travel in the next 4 weeks to a country that requires evidence of COVID vaccination
• cannot access the digital service via the NHS App

The letter will take up to 7 working days to reach you.
