Son is 12 and turns 13 whilst we are away, so upon entry is over 12.

Tried online NHS login access but no mobile setup.
He’s had two vaccinations , don’t believe a booster

Do I have to ring up the GP Monday to get a mobile number set up for him?

Confused!

Bumping this for you! I would be surprised if you had to do anything we have just returned from Italy and nothing was ever requested!

Some people have said that nobody is checking anything- random checks so you may be unlucky

I would be inclined to go for the cheapest LFT test you can get to be taken 24 hours before arrival just to be safe. And fill in tne PLF for Spain.

It’s a pain but probably easier that getting records updated or having a booster

That's because Italy have removed all restrictions, whereas Spain are still hanging onto some of theirs though?

Thanks for the replies

Managed to get this sorted.
12 year old wouldn’t register the same way as us as the mobile number wouldn’t match when trying to logon to NHS Login

Created a new account so that it would email a crossed.
Needed to do the whole video check and proof of ID

Took over night but link arrived to email we setup
Although couldn’t log in straight off as he was too young for the app, need to be 13

Tried again with mobile security number and logged on line and now have downloaded a covid passport which is basically a QR and date of vaccination

We were checked at the airport upon arrival in Spain yesterday, but only a cursory glance and no detail checked. Some friends arrived on the boat the day before and the 4 of them were not checked at all.

The Spanish are insisting masks are worn in some cases - taxi’s etc but I feel it’s at whoever’s discretion rather than blanket rules.

An NHS test if you have one and a Klarity certificate
