NHS COVID Pass
An NHS COVID Pass shows your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination details or test results. This is your COVID-19 status. You can use this if you're travelling abroad or going to a domestic venue or event and need to prove your COVID-19 status. However, check the entry requirements of the country you're visiting before you travel.
Click here to use the online NHS COVID Pass service.
The Brunei Ministry of Health (MoH) have informed us that an update to the BruHealth App will be coming shortly, this will allow individuals to have their App updated with any details of vaccination received outside the Brunei MoH.
The Brunei MoH have also said that, any international certificate of vaccination, including the wallet-sized NHS Covid card received from the PCMF, can be used as evidence of vaccination status.
