Updated Digital Covid Certificates

  • Updated Digital COVID Certificates will now be issued to those who have received an additional vaccine dose from January 6th
  • The process of issuing these certificates will take several days, and people are advised to check their email. 
  • This service is available ahead of the new EU rules which will come into effect from 1 February 2022, with a new 9-month maximum validity period for EU Digital Covid Certs based on a completed primary vaccination regime.  
  • Similar validity periods on vaccination certificates for domestic use (such as access to indoor dining etc) are not currently planned by the Government. 
  • The updated Digital COVID Certificate will contain a QR code, as before, and the certificate can be stored on the Covid Tracker App, replacing the old certificate. 
  • Following the first week of issuing, if eligible people have not received their updated certificate, they can use the online self-service portal at gov.ie/dcc 
  • There are several vaccine recipients for whom there are no email address details, these members of the public will be contacted and invited to apply for an updated certificate.  
  • Changes to the updated certificate can also be made using the online self-service portal. 
  • People can also request a certificate of recovery if recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months via online self-service portal 
  • The Digital COVID Certificate helpline was setup to provide the public with a service to request their EU Digital COVID Certificate. Since launching in July earlier this year, this service has been expanded to include several online self-service portals and more recently a WebChat channel.
  • The expansion of this service to include multiple communication channels is in line with the Government’s commitment to the provision of accessible digital services.
