- 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.
