The NHS App & Proof of Vaccination ?

Hello Everyone ?
I had my second vaccination yesterday (woo!)

We are all being encouraged to use the NHS App (different to the Track & Trace App) to prove our vaccine status.

I've just tried to check mine and DH's details on said App - but it's a right faff.
Has anyone successfully used it?

I've also heard (anecdotally, on the radio last night) that in Scotland , you receive a Vaccination Certificate as proof.
Is this right?

Any knowledge, thoughts etc on proof of vaccination?
Thank you!

That does help Jane, thank you
I'm beginning to think that we were separated at birth

It took me a while to register initially for the NHS app, just completing the personal details and getting an unfocused view of my driving licence but I eventually managed it. I then had to wait for 24 hours or so until everything was verified - I was actually reassured by this delay as I hope it will prevent misuse.

I won’t be using it to order my repeat prescriptions though as I already have online access directly with my GP which is easier to use. I only downloaded the NHS one to get proof of my Covid vaccinations in case I need it.

Well I’m pretty Tech savvy and I found it a faff too, drivers licences photo, include all of the edges, as I had to use the iPad it’s a big heavy so my first attempt was a bit blurry so I had to redo it, ditto the back of the card.
Then the video, then I had to say the numbers but shouldn’t see without my glasses on, so they didn’t accept the picture as it was different from my Drivers licence, so had to redo that as well, DH had to whisper the numbers so that I could say them
It wasn’t easy, but with perseverance we got there.
And Covid jabs and dates are there too.
