Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, having access to a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is not just important—it's a legal requirement in the UK rental market. In today’s digital-first environment, downloading a gas safety certificate should be easy and straightforward.
Fraser Bond explains how to access, request, and store your CP12 certificate digitally to stay safe and compliant.
A Gas Safety Certificate is a document issued after a Gas Safe registered engineer inspects all gas appliances in a property. It confirms the systems are safe to use and legally compliant.
Landlords must renew this certificate every 12 months and provide a copy to:
New tenants before they move in
Existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection
After the gas inspection, most Gas Safe engineers now send a digital version of the certificate:
Look for a PDF file emailed to you directly
Save it to your property compliance folder
Check the file includes date of inspection, appliance list, and engineer licence number
If your engineer has an online portal, you may be able to log in and download historical certificates as well.

Tenants are legally entitled to:
A copy of the CP12 before moving in
A copy within 28 days of each annual inspection
Ask for a digital copy (PDF) to be emailed to you. Check that:
It lists your rental address
The inspection is dated within the last 12 months
