The EU Digital COVID Certificate Regulation allows for Digital COVID Certificates to be provided to Union citizens vaccinated in a third country provided that the Member State has been provided with reliable proof of vaccination.
Ireland is developing the capability for Digital COVID Certificates are to be issued to Irish passport holders vaccinated in third countries with accepted vaccines. This does not include non-Irish citizens vaccinated in third countries.
This service is being released in a two phased approach. The online portal began to accept applications from Irish passport holders vaccinated in Northern Ireland who hold a Northern Irish COVID vaccination certificate with a QR code on 29th September. Phase 2 will accept applications from Irish passport holders vaccinated in other non-EU countries with an Irish approved vaccine regimen and is currently in development.
