Does anyone know if the new free LFD tests we can get in the UK are definitely ok for a pre-departure test when coming back to the UK? So is it ok for me to take a couple with me when I travel and then use them as my pre-departure test before flying back to the UK, or do I need some sort of certificate?
Tests, in order to be valid, should have the following:
Information that the test result must include
Your test result must be in either English, French or Spanish. Translations will not be accepted.
You must provide the original test result notification. It must include the following information:
- your name, which should match the name on your travel documents
- your date of birth or age
- the result of the test
- the date the test sample was collected or received by the test provider
- the name of the test provider and their contact details
- confirmation of the device used for the test, or that the test was a PCR test

The NHS LFD don't seem to have any of the above so I'd say that they're not allowed.
