Mine still says 20 June!!

It now has this statement on the travel 'passport'

Quote
2D barcode expiration date:

20 July 2021

Your barcode automatically refreshes every 30 days to protect your data. Check the expiration date before you travel.

It didn't have it when we did it  a fortnight ago.

But if a paper passport is provided then that can't be updated can it.  🤔

You can download a new paper one whenever. You have the option to download a pdf version to your computer. Also, your online one will update.

Only for people registered in England,  It's not showing on Wales NHS. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It's coming up here. I've not explored it though

That's the track and trace app.

Wilcoxin - Maybe you should Google or inquire locally. Your GP should have the details.

So... I have just tried to apply for a paper passport.  I spent nearly 60 minutes in front of my desktop with NHS numbers, security codes, uploading drivers licence photo etc, then I get asked to record a video to upload to prove it's me.
For goodness sake,  I am on my desktop wich doesn't do this.
That's a chunk of my life I'll never get back. 🙄

From the Welsh link:

Quote
To access the service, you’ll need to register for an NHS login if you do not have one already.

To register for an NHS login you will need to upload a photo of your ID  (passport, full UK driving licence, full European driving licence).

If you do not have photographic ID to get your NHS COVID Pass you'll need to request a letter from 0300 303 5667.

NHS login registrations may take longer than usual when there are high numbers of requests.

However, elsewhere in the document:

Quote
People in Wales cannot currently use the NHS app to access their NHS COVID Pass and vaccination status..
(last update 14 July)

From what you describe, it looks as if you've tried to use the smartphone version. If you're having difficulty, it might be best to phone the number given. Most of us are in England.

I assume that Northern Ireland and Scotland also have different versions.

This is daft!
At the beginning of the document it says:

Quote
You can get a digital NHS COVID Pass if:

    you were vaccinated in Wales
    you are aged 16 or over

This is all from this link to the Welsh govt NHS site:
