BA Attestation form help - kids proof if in Wales ?

[Bee happy]

Hi all
We fly Saturday and have tried completing attestation forms through BA manage my booking, I have read numerous threads but as we live in Wales our children do not get a covid pass.
I selected that both my children are fully vaccinated and uploaded photos of their paper vaccine card but have not had any confirmation they've been accepted whilst mine and DH were approved straight away.
Anyone from Wales managed to do this ? Seems ridiculous when kids don't need to vaccinated anyway 🤷

The paper cards aren’t accepted anywhere as proof. Never have been.

Thanks, yes I know but don't have anything else as proof or don't know how to resolve it 🤷

Did ours today, but I uploaded a photo of my sons Covid pass letter which you could apply for online. Sorry I see you've said you fly Saturday so you are not going to have time to apply for it now. Ive checked the website gov.wales/get-your-nhs-covid-pass but it says they cant be fast tracked or collected. There is a number on there though so you could try pleading with them

Thank you, yes I seen this and ridiculous that there is no online letter. It's just frustrating that we've been told no proof needed for children then are told tonight we need it for this form 😯

I know, its not been easy organising has it! Others will know better than me, but I've seen comments on other threads about ticking to say the children are unvaccinated (even when they are due to no proof) and that you agree to test them 3-5 days after arrival (think you can take the lfts with you - although Ive also seen comments saying that no-one checks the results the other end) Im sure you'll be able to resolve it!

Thanks for taking time to reply. I've already completed the forms and when I track it, just says under review, I thought we were all organised until we were filling it attestation forms this evening. Will contact BA tomorrow and see what they suggest, surely there should be a drop down bar to say 'Child - Exempt'.
Just as we were getting excited I'm stressed again now 😭

Try not to stress - I think the only implication will be that you cant check in online 24hours before your flight so will have to do it in person instead at the airport

Exactly this - under 17s do not need to be vaccinated so do not worry!

It’s nothing to worry about as there’s no expectation for children but we can access the digital covid passes for children in Wales. They use the same system as the adult ones. I have them for both my children 13 & 15.

I just used a different email address for each of us following the link for digital covid pass Wales. When I phoned to get one for my son back in February to go skiing the lady explained that children can use the digital system too. It’s exactly the same verification process where they say numbers. DD’s only took a few hours to verify and I added them all to my Apple Wallet.
