They're saying that you need to print it out from Nov 1st. They must have added something to the certifcate that wasn't there before so people need to download and print the new version. I think...

I advised my friend to update her app which was showing expiry 19tj November which meant she had last updated on the 19th October as they are valid for 1 month. 

She then reprinted the pdf so it now expires 7th December.

You do just that and request the NHS letter again which contains exactly the same details as the one you already have. I have just done it and it does have the November date but otherwise identical. Keeps us travelling though

Hello Steve

Its about the NHS certificate. I had this sent to my email from gov co UK on alerts...

Spain travel advice

Sue 😘

Hi, I too am confused, entered Spain with NHS certificate in September, now returning to Uk in 2 weeks. Does this update mean we have to download now since 1st November same certificate with same dates as previous but now needed to get back in the UK? We don't use printer so will leave download on our mobiles if that's OK, along with the locator form too. 

Regards 

Pauline

That is correct.  I have just done it myself and the only difference was the date and the fact that they now show the Scottish and Welsh logo at the top instead of just NHS.  It is OK on your phone though along with your locator form

Hello 

I'm not really sure what you do because I'm resident in Spain but have signed up for travel alerts from the government site.  I got that alert and it seems like you need to download it again.  Well, I would just to be safe.

Sorry I can't say for definite, but maybe someone else can.

Sue 😘

Thankyou for that, just wasn't sure if it meant for going into Spain or leaving and going into UK.

Hi all

I get regular travel to Spain updates emailed to me from U.K. Government website, I’ve received this one this morning. I personally don’t use the PDF version but just incase there’s anyone on the forum that does.



Hi. I can't seem to see the advice. We are travelling with Brittany Ferries on the 20th of December with our dog, via St Malo France, Can anyone please tell us exactly what we need, as we are also worried about France, even though we are not staying there. We have now heard about a certificate but all we can find is that we ned our covid app. Is there anything else we need enter and do we need anything to comeback to the UK ? Any help very gratefully received
