I have already asked but still no real answer expiration date 20 June the date of travel so need it to update code before I travel – how do I get this done as otherwise the app is completely useless if the country I enter looks and sees it expires the same day!

In reply to Ira.

Yes – I had the same problem after three times of unsuccessful trials. Finaly I realised the reason – my passport details didn’t match to my surgery registration details after I renewed the document last year.So I had to go and change the details in surgery as the NHS uses their data. That change made the things easy and I got the NHS app imediately working. The vaccine sertificat also appeaed there. Iven I haven’t been asked for some kind of identity proof like picture, record, or some kind of ID anymore.

We spent hours yesterday on a variety of mobile phones and a laptop trying to get the login set up to enable getting the vaccination certficates. Drving license details input fine but when it comes to recording the little video and reciting the four numbers they send, problems stop play. The video doesn’t record – just the sound. Submitting it like that results in rejection. Found that this is a known fault and some work-arounds but the work-arounds din’t work either. Anyone else having these problems?

In reply to Angela Jane Lord. How are people in Northern Ireland catered for to prove they have had vaccines..nhs apps make no mention of N.I. also I read a paper copy could be obtained by phoning 119 but some comments seem to disagree with this..need more clarity..p.s.is there a freedom pass for my mum in a care home as of 21st May still haven't been able to 'break her out' even for an hour..

In reply to Raymond.

I know the answer today. Here it is.:

“There was a Query about the App button, I wrote to ask, and IMMEDIATELY got the following back. They hadn’t had time to read what I said.

“My detailed COVID-19 vaccination information on the NHS App/NHS website is showing an expiry date.

No. The expiry date relates only to the QR code, which may need to be updated as international standards are agreed. The QR codes will automatically update when they expire, and anyone using the PDF option via the NHS website will be able to retrieve the new QR Code for use after the expiry date.

The UK Government is contributing to the emerging international standards and the expiry date is only for the QR code, which will be refreshed automatically in the NHS App and on the NHS website when these standards are agreed.”

So that is explained. They could have explained it on the App itself, I feel. If they had an automated reply, it is because they are getting loads of queries!”
I hope that will help!

Thank you NHS Scotland. Today I was finally able to download and print out my COVID vaccination certificate. Had to call to get a user name but then managed it. This service is only available as of 1pm today .

I’m a Scot living in Germany and returning there soon. I’ve had 2 Covid vaccinations but because I have no proof of them will have to quarantine for 14 days in Germany. In England they at least got a slip of paper to say they’d had their jabs. We got nothing. I had my international certificate with me when I went for the jab – they wouldn’t fill it in. I’ve called my GP, they won’t give me a letter – stuck in Limbo!

You can access the NHS from a web browser on your computer. You need to set him up as a user first. https://youtu.be/6FFjGUW6s7E
