The Digital COVID Certificate Regulation is intended to facilitate people’s fundamental right to move and reside freely and help to support the lifting of restrictions currently in place in a coordinated manner within the EU.

As the Minister for Health, I am supporting the work of my Department in collaborating with relevant Departments under the leadership of the Department of Taoiseach to assist in the on-going implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificates. 

Individuals should receive their EU Digital COVID Certificate when they are fully vaccinated. If the HSE has a valid email address from the vaccination process – individuals will get their Digital COVID Certificate by email. Otherwise, they will get their certificate via post. These Digital COVID Certificates are currently being emailed or posted.
