COVIDCert NI

COVIDCert NI is a digital wallet for your Health & Social Care Northern Ireland (HSC NI) COVID certificates.

When travelling abroad, you can use this app to show that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Downloading and using this app is voluntary and you must read the Terms and Conditions before use.

How does this app work?

- If you don’t already have one, the app will help you apply for your COVID certificate via nidirect.

- If you have applied for your COVID certificate, login with your nidirect account.

- You may be asked for additional proof of identity.

- When your COVID certificate is valid, it will be green and available as a QR code.

- When you travel, the QR code can be scanned to show your COVID certificate status.

- Parents and guardians can access their under-16 dependents’ COVID certificates.

- Under-16s can scan their COVID certificate QR code using this app to add and store it.


How is my data protected?

- Your data is secure - the app does not share information about your vaccination.

- Data used by the app is only what is already registered by nidirect and HSC NI.

- The app will not collect any additional information about you.


The functionality of the app will be developed over the coming months.

COVIDCert NI has been developed by Health & Social Care NI, Department of Health NI and Digital Transformation Services.
