Contactless Security Screening
At the SEC, we’re always looking for ways to make your experience even better. While we continue to keep safety and security our top priority, we're introducing new security screening technology to help make entry smoother and more seamless. Check the information below on how it works, so you can spend the minimum time waiting and the maximum time enjoying your visit.
Evolv Express is a contactless security screening solution that highlights threat items, while ignoring harmless personal items, as you walk through at a natural pace.
How does it work?
- Follow instructions from our team
- Keep all personal belongings with you during the screening process
- Simply Walk through the screening system; there's no need to stop unless directed to by security
- Have your ticket ready for scanning
If you have a medical condition that may limit certain security procedures, or use a wearable or implanted medical device, please inform staff as you approach and they will provide an alternative screening method.

Can I present a negative COVID-19 test to gain entry?
Yes, a record that you have tested negative (LFD or PCR) for the COVID-19 virus, taken within 24 hours of attending, will be accepted as an alternative to showing your COVID vaccine certificate.
A record of a negative test is a text message or an email from NHS Scotland received after submitting details of your test.

Please note: There will be no on-site testing or test kits available at the SEC.
I live elsewhere in the UK, how can I prove my COVID Status?

EU Covid Certificates are accepted.
If you're from other nations, such as the USA, you should use the same proof of vaccination within Scotland that you used to enter the UK.
How do you check my status?
In line with Scottish Government Guidance, our COVID Check Stewards in purple will check your vaccination status by using either the NHS Scotland COVID Check app, or visually inspecting your status on your mobile device or your paper certificate.
The app does not store or transmit any personal data during the process.
Negative COVID-19 test:
If you are presenting a recorded negative LFD/PCR test, our COVID Check Stewards will visually check the text message or email sent to you form NHS Scotland. Physical Lateral Flow Devices showing a negative result will not be accepted as proof, please do not attend with a physical device.
