COVID Passport Scams

Dear Watch Member,

Several OWL members have alerted us about receiving communications purporting to be “official notifications” regarding digital COVID-19 passports. In some cases, recipients have been asked to click on a link to accept an invitation to receive a COVID passport certificate confirming that they have been vaccinated.

Please beware of any similar unexpected communications, which may be a scam designed to capture your personal information or trick you into sending money.

Should you wish to find out how to obtain a COVID passport, you should visit the official NHS website at nhs.uk.

An NHS COVID Pass shows your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination details or test results. You may be asked to show your pass to travel abroad, or at events and venues asking for proof of your COVID-19 status. You can get an NHS COVID Pass digitally through the NHS App or the online NHS COVID Pass service; please visit nhs.uk for the official link.
