Covid Passports

If you are aged 16 or over your Covid passport can be found on either the MyGP app, Patient Access app or the NHS app or if you do not have a mobile phone you can ring 119 and they will organise a letter to be sent to you.  If you are travelling please ensure you leave enough time to get this as it is sent out via the postal service.

We CANNOT print off Covid Passports - they are either electronic on your app or on paper via NHS 119

We do NOT provide "proxy" access for children aged between 11 and 15 and NHS 119 will not provide a letter either.
