Yes. The certificate is valid for as long as the rule of your destination country. For instance, currently the USA stipulates that your positive Covid-19 test must be more than 5 days but no longer than 90 days ago. If the dates of your test, as written on your certificate, fit this requirement then you’re good to go.
Once you have completed and submitted your application, a member of our medical team will review your submission details and assuming everything is OK, will approve your application and authorise your certificate.
You should receive your certificate by email within a few hours. It normally takes about 2 hours.
To validate your application we require a copy of the ID page in your passport, and your positive Covid-19 test report. We accept both a PCR test and a lateral flow test report. Your test report need to have the following information clearly visible:
- Passenger full name
- Passenger date of birth
- Type of test (PCR or lateral flow)
- Date the sample was taken
- Positive result
- Name of laboratory (not required for NHS tests)
Document of Recovery from Covid-19 for the USA
In accordance with the CDC latest regulations, we now accept a positive lateral flow test (aka rapid antigen test) as evidence of your recent Covid-19 infection, in order to authorise a Document of Recovery from Covid-19 for the USA (aka Covid Recovery Certificate or Proof of Recovery from Covid-19).
Your test must have been taken at least 6 days ago (11 days if you were hospitalised due to Covid-19) in order to be valid.
CLICK HERE to read the CDC’s latest guidance on testing.
For a lateral flow (aka rapid antigen) test, you must upload a formal report of your positive lateral flow test that clears shows your name, date of birth, and the test result.
If you are using a NHS report then a screenshot or copy of your email/text message notification from the NHS will do. If you are uploading a result from a private testing company, you result must also display the name of the testing company or clinic.

Covid Recovery Certificates Delivered by The Montague Clinic, London, UK
Had Covid in the past few months? This can be problematic for international travel as PCR testing can remain positive for months and therefore may remain positive on your pre-departure PCR test. Many countries will allow you to enter if you have a Covid-19 Recovery Certificate. This Document of Recovery from Covid-19 confirms that you have passed our Covid 19 medical assessment and that The Montague Clinic has validated the evidence of your positive test result (either lateral flow test or PCR test).
Our Proof of Recovery Letter meets the highest standards for international travel, documenting your Recovery Date and includes a unique Covid Recovery Certificate UK QR code with signatures from our London based doctors. We are proud to have received widespread positive acclaim about the professional appearance and content of our Covid Recovery Letter.
The Montague Clinic’s Covid Recovery Certificate outlines when any symptoms you had started (if any), the date of your positive PCR or rapid antigen test and your recovery date according to the latest UK Guidelines. The Proof of Recovery Letter has The Montague Clinic’s logo, location and contact details.
Key destinations with pathways that allow Covid Recovery Certificates are Qatar, Hong Kong, Japan and Spain. It’s advisable to check with the national public health website of your destination as well as GOV.UK to determine whether a Certificate of Recovery can be accepted.
The Montague Clinic’s Covid 19 Journey from PCR testing to Covid Recovery Certificates
At the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, The Montague Clinic became a UK Government listed provider of Covid-19 Testing with access to the best London laboratories with the fastest results. We had in-house Covid testing services offering express results and fit to fly certificates. As the pandemic evolved, we expanded to provide Covid 19-testing services across the UK, and delivered Day 2 and 8 arrival PCR Covid 19 testing. We offered express PCR result services which were important as passengers could not leave of quarantine until they received their negative Covid 19 results. Once rapid antigen tests became sufficiently accurate, we began to offer these as part of our Covid-19 Testing Services, which some countries also accepted for fit to fly certificates.
Over the course of the pandemic, it became apparent that the high accuracy of PCR tests meant that they could still detect Covid 19 viral fragments months after a positive infection with Covid. This would potentially deliver positive Covid PCR result after a full recovery from Covid 19. NHS Recovery Certificates could not always be used for travel so we developed a Covid Recovery Letter that would be suitable for the needs of international travellers. We wanted to make our Covid-19 Recovery Certificate service as seamless as possible and developed an online assessment tool which gathered key information specific to the destinations that passengers were travelling to.
We understand that organising travel documentation is stressful, so ensured that our process was as simple and intuitive as possible. We trained our 24-hour support team to expertly and speedily manage all queries regarding Covid Recovery Letters. Applications for Covid Recovery Certificates are assessed promptly and we consistently achieve a turnaround time to issue a Covid Recovery Letter in under 2 hours. Our online reviews are a testament to the skill and dedication of our Covid Recovery Certificate support staff.
PCR Testing and the Covid Recovery Letter service by The Montague Clinic has given us valuable experience in delivering services nationwide. We plan to build on our experience of the Letter of Recovery Covid to deliver more testing and medical administrative solutions for the whole of the UK.
