COVID-19 Travel Checklist
Read the government's COVID-19 travel guide.
If you're vaccinated and returning to the UK you'll also need to purchase a "Day 2" lateral flow test to be taken after you arrive in England.
If you're non-vaccinated and returning to the UK you'll also need to purchase "day 2 & 8" PCR tests to be taken after you arrive in England. Check the government guidance to see what tests you'll need.
Travel testing can be complicated so it's definitely worth having a look at our Help Centre to help answer any questions you may have.
Check the government's travel advice for each country including their testing requirements.

Important: Our Commitment To You
We have processed thousands of coronavirus tests and deliver results quickly in the vast majority of cases. However, it's important to be clear about what we can and cannot guarantee.
For the majority of the UK, kits are dispatched by DPD on the day of ordering for orders placed before 8pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends or public holidays. Dispatches are sent using DPD's Next-Day service. DPD will email you tracking information directly and you should receive your order the day after dispatch.
Due to limitations in DPD's service we are currently unable to ship to the Scottish Highlands & Islands or Northern Ireland.
Delays in delivery are rare but, once dispatched by us, we have no direct control over delivery and cannot accept liability for delays. We strongly recommend you order test kits well in advance of when you need to take your sample.
We provide as much information about our tests and their suitability for destination countries as possible but coronavirus is rapidly changing and countries may alter their entry requirements at short notice and without warning. We cannot accept liability for costs incurred if your destination country or airline refuses to acccept our test / certificate.
We strongly advise you to check the entry requirements for your destination country before purchasing tests.
We verify results photos throughout the day, seven days a week, and generally send out result certificates within hours of photos being uploaded.
However, please be aware that it can occasionally take longer to send out certificates (up 12 hours), particularly if photos are uploaded at night.
If you haven't received your certificate within 12 hours please check your "spam"/"junk" mailbox before contacting us.
On rare occasions an antigen test can give an "inconclusive" result, particularly if the testing instructions are not followed correctly. In these circumstances we will refund the cost of your test in full.
We pride ourselves on delivering the best customer service experience possible and our customers agree in their reviews on Trustpilot. We will always respond to you quickly and kindly and will always do our best to help you.
We're doctors who put people first
We're a small group of doctors and business leaders who created C19 Testing because we believe that people deserve transparency, honesty and certainty when having to take unfamiliar tests in uncertain times.
