If you have not proven who you are, you'll see a message after you log in to the NHS App or through the NHS website. It will ask you to prove your identity to get full access.
If you do not see this message, you already have full access.
Your GP surgery chooses the level of detail available for you to see in your health record. They may also choose to switch off features, like appointment booking, if they need to.
What you can do with your NHS App
Using the NHS App or the NHS website, you'll need to prove who you are before you can:
- view and download your NHS COVID Pass for travel abroad
- book and manage appointments
- order repeat prescriptions
- view your health record securely
- manage your organ donation decision
- view your NHS number
- use NHS 111 online
Without full access you can:
- search conditions and treatments
- find NHS services near you
How to prove who you are
You can prove who you are using photo ID or your registration details for your GP surgery's online services.
