COVIDCert NI is a verification app which provides official confirmation of vaccination for users living in Northern Ireland. Developed by the Department of Health NI and Digital Transformation Services, the app provides Northern Ireland residents with separate vaccination certificates for both foreign travel and domestic use. When users decide to travel abroad, they can use the app to show certificates that they have had both their Covid-19 vaccine doses.
To use the app, users should apply for their COVID certificate and log-in on to their nidirect account, and then the COVID certificate will be valid on the app. The certificate is shown as a QR code, which will be scanned to confirm vaccination status while traveling.
Features
- Get Covid certification on the phone
- Show a QR code of vaccination certificate while traveling abroad
- Hide or show vaccination details
How does the app work?
- To view your COVID certificates you will first need to apply for a certificate using nidirect. If you have not already done this the app will direct you to apply.
- If you have applied for your COVID certificate, the app will ask you to log-in to your nidirect account. You may be asked for additional proof of identity.
- The app will then automatically retrieve your certificate from HSC NI once logged in.
- When your COVID certificate is valid, it will be green and you will be able to view your certificate as a QR code.
- Your data is secure - the app does not share information about your vaccination.
- When you travel, the QR code will be scanned to ensure that your COVID certificate is valid.
- The certificate page has a holographic HSC logo which adds an extra layer of security.
- The app will not register any additional information about you, and is based solely on data that is already registered by nidirect and HSC NI.
