If you have received a positive COVID PCR test, you may be eligible for a COVID recovery certificate.

Recovery certificates are available after you’ve finished self-isolating and up to 180 days after taking the test for international travel and 30 to 180 days for entry to premises where evidence of COVID-19 is required.

This certificate is valid for international travel where your destination accepts recovery certification as part of their entry criteria.

This is a two-step process. You must first create an account with NI Direct which will take you through identity verification. https://covidcertni.nidirect.gov.uk/Customer/CertificateDisplay/Home
