England NHS App Update Allows Covid Pass to be Added to Apple Wallet

LONDON – England’s NHS app for iOS has been updated to allow the COVID pass, which will be required at some events and settings, to be added to a user’s Apple Wallet. This works for the domestic pass only, and other parts of the UK have different apps and systems.
Add NHS App Covid Pass to Apple Wallet
User’s first need to make sure they are using the latest version of the NHS app. This is separate from the COVID-19 app used for contact tracing. Open the App Store, tap the icon in the top right corner to open your profile, and scroll down to see if an update is available. If not, the latest version is already installed.

Open the app and log in if required.
Tap ‘Get Your NHS COVID Pass’.
Tap Domestic,
Scroll down and tap ‘Add to Apple Wallet’ which is just underneath the QR code.
The NHS COVID Pass then appears on-screen. Tap ‘Add’ in the top right corner.

The NHS COVID pass is then added to your Apple Wallet. It is available to those 18 or over two weeks after completing a full course of vaccination, or after having a negative PCR or rapid lateral flow test within 48 hours of entry to a venue requiring the NHS Covid pass, or with proof of natural immunity from a positive PCR test up to 180 days from the date of the positive test after self-isolating.
