Amharc ar fhreagraThe EU Digital COVID Certificate is a document which is issued to help facilitate enable the safe and free international movement of people across the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
The EU Digital COVID Certificate Third Country portal is now accessible to eligible Irish passport holders vaccinated outside of the EU at www.covidcertificateportal.gov.ie
This portal will accept applications from individuals vaccinated in a third country, outside of the EU Member States, who are 18 years of age and older, hold a valid Irish passport, and a reliable proof of vaccination for a vaccine type currently authorised for use in Ireland.
