The EU Digital COVID Certificate is a document which is issued to help facilitate the safe and free international movement of people across the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic.  

EU Digital COVID Certificates based on vaccination are currently being emailed to individuals, regardless of age, following completion of a primary vaccination regime or a booster. 

Additionally, individuals can visit the online Digital COVID Certificate portal which has options for  updating certificate details, having a certificate re-sent, checking the status of a certificate, or requesting a certificate of recovery. 

Question No. 1592 answered with Question No. 1584.
