Qr Code For Holiday Abroad

[smurfchops]

I have tHe NHS Covid App on my phone, can I take screenshots of our QR codes, is that all they will need at Southampton, to prove we have had all our jabs? I thought it would be easier than logging in as it takes me forever …. Especially as we have one phone between the two of us, so logging on twice. Thanks all.

A screenshot should do, though make sure the expiry date shown on the certificate is valid long enough (I think they last 28 or 30 days from memory). The easiest way I found when I went abroad last October was to print off the certificates. We showed them upon arrival (scanned by a member of the border staff with a hand-held scanner) and off we went. Far quicker than many people who had to fanny about with phones.

I am sending off for the NHS Covid Passport letters as well, thanks Judge

That's a good idea, smurfey. The NHS letters have no expiry date, unlike the certificates you get via the app. Belt and braces !!!
