If you mean a covid certificate issued in Spain that’s fine as the  EU certificate is valid for one year.

However if you mean an NHS  printed certificate, then no it has to be dated after the 1st November.if the details are on the app it automatically refreshes each time.

Remember to print the Covid certificate off.   Always better to have it at hand.  Searching through your mobile can be a nightmare.

Thank you very much for the tip

I contacted NHS Uk yesterday and they told me the old july letter for covid is fine and it doesnt expire its just the digital that expires so I went online and obtained the digital also to be on the safe side.
