About this medical letter
COVID-19 recovery certificate
If you have suffered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months (180 days) and plan to travel, you may require a medical certificate as evidence that you are fully recovered.
Our doctors can provide you with a same-day medical certificate confirming that your last positive COVID-19 test was more than 10 days ago, and you are now symptom-free and fit to travel. No appointment is needed – simply apply online.
What will I receive?
You will receive a verifiable digital PDF letter signed by a medical professional and sent directly to your mobile, containing the following details:
- Your name and sex, date of birth and date of assessment.
- Your passport number and unique certificate ID.
- Confirmation that your last positive COVID-19 test was more than 10 days ago, and the type of test taken (PCR or rapid lateral flow).
- Confirmation that you have had no COVID-19 symptoms in the last 72 hours and are fit to travel.
- Signature and authorisation by one of our GMC-registered UK doctors.
- Contact details of ZoomDoc Health with a QR code enabling a verification check.
Important – Which countries can I use this certificate for?
The list of countries which require a COVID-19 recovery certificate for entry can change frequently. Prior to purchasing a COVID-19 recovery certificate, please check that your airline or destination country will accept it, as this is entirely at their discretion. Some countries do not accept private healthcare recovery certificates, and our QR code cannot be uploaded to some overseas apps*.
Please note: Please check latest guidelines with your travel operator or destination before purchase.
The ZoomDoc COVID-19 recovery certificate cannot be uploaded to the EU Covid Pass app.

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-adviceDo you supply COVID-19 recovery certificates for children?
Our team provides certificates for children of any age.
However, please check the requirements of your destination country, as young children may not always need a COVID-19 recovery certificate to travel.
VeriFly: Pre-Check
The VeriFly pre-check-in upload of recovery certificates is temperamental, which means certificates can't always be uploaded. This is the case for all privately-supplied COVID-19 recovery certificates.
Nonetheless, our recovery certificates are accepted at airport check-in desks for travel to all destinations that accept doctor-signed, QR-coded COVID-19 recovery certificates.
Do you provide a refund if my COVID-19 recovery certificate is not accepted by an airline?
We only provide full refunds if we are unable to provide a medical certificate for any reason.
Once our doctors have provided a medical certificate, we are unable to provide a refund.

”At ZoomDoc, we have supported over 100,000 people with our COVID-19 recovery certificates and COVID-19 home tests. We have reunited families and enabled last-minute holidays. From Spain to Australia, we have opened borders and provided both the reassurance and guarantee that our customers require.
Our amazing 5-star Trustpilot reviews are testament to the high quality of service that our team of doctors provides.
We know that some patients remain positive on PCR beyond 10 days, so they may require a recovery certificate to support them with travel or attending events. Our certificates all have QR codes that make it easy to provide verification and proof of recovery.“
