COVID-19 Recovery Certificate

A recovery certificate confirms that you’ve contracted COVID-19 before but have recovered and developed natural immunity to fight off re-infection.

If you are aged 5+ and have evidence of a COVID-19 test result between 10-180 days and have recovered, you will be eligible. In some countries the certificate may be valid for 90 days following a positive test or 180 days. Please check with your destination before you purchase the certificate.

People who have had Covid-19 usually recover after 10 days. But if you still feel sick and unwell you may have not recovered yet. The assessment will be based on the symptoms you may have during the assessment.

Most countries now accept both a PCR test or a *Rapid Antigen test as evidence of your recent Covid-19 infection (Please check destination requirements)

Please provide an official test report or NHS email containing your name, date of birth and type of test (must have been logged with the NHS)

We cannot accept photos of test cassettes, your tests need to have been verified by a healthcare professional.

*Please check destination requirements as some may require the test carried out or supervised by a healthcare professional

Due to the ever-changing rules and regulations, it is advisable to check with your destination country travel rules.

There is a debate with regards to how long immunity lasts - some countries claim 90 days and others up to 180 days. It is recommended that you check your country's travel requirements with regards to the validity of the recovery certificate. We will add the date of your positive test result on the recovery certificate to ensure it is valid.
