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.

Certificates based on vaccination and recovery are now being issued. Citizens who have not received their Digital COVID Certificate and require it urgently to travel in the coming days can call the helpline on 1800 807 008. Certificates based on negative PCR and antigen tests for travel within the EU can be obtained from private testing services signed up to the Digital Covid Test Certificate Service.

Every effort has been made to ensure the data on EU Digital Covid Certificates is correct and complete. For citizens who have a concern about the detail on your Digital COVID Certificate, they can call the helpline on 1800 807 008 to have the details corrected.

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.
