I’m getting a bit of a runaround from 119 and randox as to how it is possible to add my test. Randox claims the NHS should add it, the NHS says I have to contact randox. Is there a way to get a covid recovery certificate based on a private test?
If it is very recent you could still get a NHS test. You would have to say you have symptoms when arranging it.

Either way, I hope you manage to get sorted.
There would be no test cassette involved since it was a PCR. For the recovery certificate it does appear in the app after a delay if it was a PCR. I think it is the same for a rapid test, but I am not sure on that one.
