Do you mean this one?

https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/startApplication.do

If you don't mean that one - which one do you mean?

Cheers,

The EHIC website link in my earlier post works fine for me.

Here it is again -

https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/startApplication.do

Can you not access the above website?

If you can't access the above website, are you able to perhaps try two different ways to access it -

  • On a different device using the same router
  • On the same device using a different router

Also, if you can't access the above website, what is the specific browser issue that you're seeing when you try to?

Cheers,

Itsallaguess

EHIC card website down as Brits rush to get medical insurance cover for holidays


This is a headline from the Mirror online - admittedly not the most reliable of sources

But I just wondered if it was now working - because it still isn't for me!

What do you mean by "isn't working"?

e.g.
DNS won't resolve?
Loading page just times out?
You fill the form, but get an error when you submit?
Refuses to talk to you until it's had a payrise?

At what step does it fail for you? I can sign in and get as far as the personal details form...

European Health Insurance Card
Home > EHIC Main Applicant Details
Applicants Personal Details


...but as I already have a current card I didn't test further than that.

FWIW, there appear to be two URLs (going to the same website) when I renewed my card earlier this year:

Back of previous card said: "To renew or apply for a new free EHIC or to find out more information, visit http://www.nhs.uk/ehic

This says: You can renew your EHIC card online

The url above is: https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/startApplication.do

Both seem to work at the time of writing, but seemed ehic.org.uk to have a slightly slow response.
