NI: How to get proof of vaccination for foreign travel
A short-term scheme has just been launched, as the full scheme is not yet functional.
A stop-gap shceme has been introduced, to act as proof of vaccination for those going on holidays before July 19.
It comes as the full scheme is not yet completed, but hopeful travelers still need a certificate to show certain destinations that they have received both jabs.
Some countries decided to require vaccination proof ahead of the EU’s vaccine passport scheme becoming fully functional.
Here's what you need to know:
- The proof does is free, so any scheme claiming to cost money is a scam.
- People should only apply if they are jetting off up to and including July 19 .
- Getting the document could take up to five days.

Health Minister Robin Swann said: “I would like to thank all those who have worked so hard in developing this interim scheme at speed. It was required after unilateral action by some countries on entry requirements. I now look forward to the full vaccine certification system going live later this month.”
The full, internationally recognised vaccine certification system is currently being finalised and being subjected to cyber security checks.
