European Commission recognises NHS COVID Pass

29 October 2021

As of today, the UK’s NHS COVID Pass is recognised as being equivalent to the EU’s digital COVID certificate.

Whilst many European countries have already unilaterally accepted the NHS COVID Pass as valid proof of vaccination status, the change, which was announced by the European Commission yesterday, means that the NHS COVID Pass will automatically be recognised in all EU member states.
