November 19, 2021: Domestic Certificate
COVIDCert NI has been updated to allow Northern Ireland residents to display a domestic use certificate of vaccination. Users can show validation of their vaccination status without showing their personal information.
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.
