Guidance

Tuberculosis testing in the UK

Updated 12 February 2025

If you already have a valid tuberculosis (TB) test certificate from an approved test centre abroad you do not need to take a test again.

If you want to take a test in the UK, it must be from a clinic approved by the Home Office. We will not accept a TB test certificate from a clinic we have not approved.

You should contact the clinic to book an appointment.
