Question
To ask the Scottish Government what consideration it has given to the use of the CitizenCard as valid ID for the purposes of the vaccine certification scheme.
Answer
Currently only passports and driving licences are accepted as valid forms of ID for registering on the NHS Scotland COVID Status app. Should forms of identification accepted be expanded, then Citizen Cards would be considered alongside other forms of ID. Individuals without a passport and driving licence can request a paper or PDF copy of their COVID Status through NHS Inform .
