Irish citizens vaccinated outside of the EU will be able to obtain a Digital Covid Certificate valid in Ireland and across the EU, under a new service being introduced in two phases.
During Phase 1, beginning tomorrow, the portal will accept applications from Irish citizens vaccinated in Northern Ireland who hold a Northern Irish Covid vaccination certificate with a QR code.
Under the second phase, from 21 October, the portal will accept applications from Irish citizens vaccinated in all countries outside the EU, except those which have been awarded an equivalence decision as the Covid Certificates issued in those countries and territories are accepted under the same conditions as the EU Digital Covid Certificate.
