Proof of recovery from coronavirus

If you're travelling internationally and are not fully vaccinated, some countries may accept proof of recovery from coronavirus. Usually this must be a PCR test result. But some countries may accept a private, supervised LFD test result instead.

You can download or request a record of recovery online if you're aged 16 or over. If you're under 16, you can phone the COVID Status Helpline on 0808 196 8565 to request a copy.
