Yellow fever – vaccine exemption certificate

Our Yellow Fever Certificate is issued under the supervision of UK NHS-registered doctors and is recognised internationally.

You do not need to be a UK resident to apply - our service is available to travellers worldwide. Each certificate includes secure QR-code verification for fast, reliable validation by border authorities, airports, and travel officials when entering Yellow Fever-endemic destinations.

After purchase we will provide you with your unique certificate booking reference number, which will allow you to upload your medical evidence.

Once uploaded, our doctors will review your evidence within a few hours (between 9am and 9pm GMT, 7 days a week) – they may call you if they have any questions or require any clarifications.

Once validated, we will send your vaccine medical exemption certificate to you by email and SMS.

We will require you to:

✓  Upload a photo of your passport or driving license

✓ Complete a medical questionnaire

✓  Upload your digital Summary Care Record or a doctor’s letter confirming the medical reason for exemption

All of our medical letters have individualised QR codes that can be scanned to verify the document's authenticity per specific patient.

Once scanned, your personal online results portal is loaded, from where your medical certificate can be reviewed and personal exemption details confirmed.

We only provide full refunds if we are unable to provide a medical certificate.

Once our doctors have provided a medical certificate, we are unable to process a refund.

Our team will review your evidence and provide your certificate within 1-2 hours that evidence has been uploaded (between 9am and 9pm GMT, 7 days a week).

Yellow Fever is a serious viral infection spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes in parts of Africa and South America. While many people experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue, the infection can progress to a severe form that causes jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), bleeding, liver and kidney failure, and death. There is no specific antiviral treatment for yellow fever, making prevention through vaccination the most effective protection.

Travellers who are not vaccinated and are exposed to infected mosquitoes are at risk of contracting yellow fever, a disease that can rapidly become life-threatening. Approximately 15% of infected individuals develop severe disease, and among those with severe illness, mortality rates can be as high as 30–60%. In addition to the health risks, many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, and unvaccinated travellers may be refused entry, quarantined, or required to provide a valid medical exemption certificate. A single dose of the vaccine provides highly effective, long-lasting protection and remains the best defence against this potentially fatal infection.

As part of providing a yellow fever exemption certificate - our Doctors will undertake a risk assessment to ensure that an exemption is the correct clinical decision.
