FAQ - Recovery Certificate

What is a Covid-19 recovery certificate?

A Covid-19 Recovery Certificate, also known as Proof of Covid Recovery, a Covid Recovery Letter or Proof of Natural Immunity, confirms that you have recently had Covid-19 and have recovered so are likely to be protected against Coronavirus by your antibodies. It’s most commonly used for entry to destinations that accept Covid-19 Recovery Certificates as an alternative to Fit to Fly Certificates, which show that you were unlikely to have Covid-19 on the date of your test. Covid-19 Recovery Certificates also enable travel for passengers who have recovered from Covid-19 but may continue to test positive for Coronavirus despite showing no symptoms. You’ll need to upload a positive Covid-19 test result and demonstrate that you’ve recovered from Covid-19 during the application process to be eligible for a Recovery Certificate. If your application is approved, you’ll need to show your positive Covid-19 test result alongside your Covid-19 Recovery Certificate when you travel for entry to your destination.

How long after my positive Covid-19 test can I apply for a Covid-19 Recovery Certificate?

You can apply after 7 days have passed since your positive Covid-19 test, provided you have been free of symptoms for 48 hours. The first day of your symptoms or the date of your positive test is considered day ZERO. If you are still unwell after 7 days then it’s unlikely you have recovered yet. Your symptoms will be assessed during your application.

Who can apply for a certificate?

Yes an email with detailed instructions will be sent to you. The process is very easy to follow and can be used by people of all ages and has been designed for ease of use.

Which Covid test results can be used to apply for a COVID-19 Recovery Certificate?

This depends on what test types your destination accepts. Some countries only accept NAAT tests (e.g. PCR, TMA or LAMP), while others accept antigen lateral flow test results if an approved provider has verified them (e.g. they have produced a test result certificate for you).

Tests from an approved provider or laboratory should contain your name and the date of your positive Covid-19 test (within the last 7-180 days). These can be a PDF or a screenshot/photo of a UK NHS test result provided your name, and the date are visible.

Please note: We cannot accept screenshots/photos of positive Covid-19 test results from other national health providers. We can only accept PDFs from a laboratory with your full name and the date of your positive Covid-19 test result clearly displayed.

We also cannot accept evidence of vaccination as proof that you have recovered from coronavirus.

How long is a Covid recovery certificate valid?

A Covid-19 Recovery Certificate is valid from 7 days after your positive Covid-19 test up to 180 days.

Please remember to check the validity period of your chosen destination as these are subject to change. Some countries only accept Covid-19 Recovery Certificates if your positive Covid-19 test was within the last 30 days, although most accept them within the last 90 days.
