Get COVID-19 Tests for US travelers going to the United Kingdom
AZOVA provides United States travelers with all tests needed to meet UK's COVID-19 entry testing requirements including predeparture Fit to Fly, Day 2 and return test kits. Entry testing requirements apply to the United Kingdom. Important: testing requirements for countries within the United Kingdom may be different. Please visit England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales for each country's testing requirement.
We recommend that you order your tests two weeks in advance of your trip to ensure availability.
Note as of March 5, 2022: For fully vaccinated individuals or children under 17 years of age, you do not need to take any COVID-19 travel tests before you travel to England or after you arrive. You can check if you qualify as fully vaccinated here.
For not fully vaccinated individuals, you must take a COVID-19 test – to be taken in the 2 days before you travel to England. When you arrive, you must take the COVID-19 PCR test that you booked before you travelled.You can take the test any time after you arrive and before the end of day 2 at the latest. The day you arrive in England is day 0.
How it works
We’ve provided a simple check list to help you determine which tests you need and to add them to your cart and check out. Be sure to complete your purchase at least two weeks before your trip to ensure availability. Understand the testing requirements for travel to the UK if you’re vaccinated or non-vaccinated; click here for more information.
We will ship your tests and instructions for each test to your home address in the United States. Day 2 RT-PCR tests kits are delivered to you with a pre-paid return shipping label addressed to our partner lab in the UK. Be sure to take these tests with you to the UK. Just drop your test kit in the Royal Mail when it's time to take your test and you’ll receive your results within 24-48 hours from the time the lab receives each kit.
Once you've received your test kits, complete the UK passenger locator form 48 hours before your trip. We will send you a test reference number for each Day 2 kit that needs to be included on your passenger locator form.
Your shipment comes with instructions for when to take each test and each test comes with its own instructions. Take each test at the correct time for pre-departure, Day 2 and return testing as instructed. The pre-departure and return tests must be oberved with video observation.
You will receive a result for each test that you take. Your results come in both a PDF and COVID Credentials™ Health Pass format so you can share them with anyone you want.
