The NHS app provides you a wide range of online health services. You can get your proof of vaccination, ask for health advice and urgent help, as well as make GP consultations and hospital appointments. Various digital tools are also available on the NHS app to access other GP services. Released in March 2020 at the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHS app enables Britons to enjoy convenient health support online to better combat the virus.

How to get a COVID Pass on the NHS app and where to show it?

The digital NHS COVID Pass requires you to be registered with a GP surgery in England and have had the coronavirus vaccine or recent negative test results. To access a COVID Pass, first, open the NHS app, and you’ll see "Get your NHS COVID Pass" in the middle of the homepage. Select it and follow the instructions to get your pass.

The government is encouraging places with large crowds to require visitors to show the NHS COVID Pass. It hasn’t mandated the COVID Pass but will likely to do so in the future, depending on the situation of the pandemic.

The NHS COVID Pass can also be used to prove your double-jabbed status when travelling to other countries after July 19. Some countries also require a negative test, so make sure you check the requirements of your destination country before travelling.
