Good Morning
I have an EHIC Card which has expired with a UK Personal ID Number. I do not remember if this was issued in UK or Spain where I am now living.
1) How do I find out
2} Can I renew the Card or do I have to Apply for a new one.
3) Can I apply for a new card online in Spain
Thank You

Hi pensure1988,
1) Look on card as it has " Identification of Institution" Example... 0001-DWP .....issued in UK
Other info.............

You won't need it if you live in Spain and only travel to UK. You are entitled to treatment but they suggest you take a copy of your S1 assuming you are a pensioner.

Do you really think the jobsworth at the hospital/surgery will have the slightest idea what an S1 form is? The only sensible option is to get an EHIC card to avoid any confrontation with the NHS staff.fyfin wrote:You won't need it if you live in Spain and only travel to UK.

Dito gerry just ring newcastle if you are a O.A.P. They do it over the phone very quickly. Doesnt matter where you where when it was issued. If you arent an O.A.P then you cant get one
