What is Day 2 Testing?
The UK government requires all people returning to the UK who are not vaccinated (or those vaccinated by other than the NHS) to take a Day 2 test upon arrival to England (rules for Scotland may vary). Those arriving from an amber list country are mandated to self isolate and produce negative results before release. For UK residents who are vaccinated by the NHS and are returning from Amber list countries are exempt from isolation and require a Day 2 test only.

Where can I find my booking reference number?

(Add an example image of the email that goes out- this is not the complete picture but please add one. This is to help the customers identify where in the invoice is it mentioned)
How do I send my sample back?
You have multiple options to choose from while placing an order. You have the option to choose between a pre-paid Royal mail return label (Please confirm with iQ because I think you have to purchase Royal mail labels for £10, DX is free) or a pre-paid DX label to send your sample back. Apart from this you have the option to purchase home collection service for an additional cost of £10. (Please reconfirm this figure with iQ).
How do I register my test kit?
Please use this link to register your kit: https://www.iqdoctor.co.uk/ Each vial has a unique 10-digit reference ID beginning with IQ/YG which needs to be registered within your IQ Doctor account. Please ensure you register your kit as soon as you test yourself or shortly thereafter. Do not delay this step.
When should I expect my results?
The lab takes less than 24 hours to process results after receiving the sample.
