Following the rollout of the EU Digital COVID Certificate in Ireland, and the successful COVID Booster Vaccination Programme, updated Digital COVID Certificates are now being issued to those who have received an additional vaccine dose in Ireland.

The EU Digital COVID Certificate is a standardized record of a medical event which is issued by the EU Member State where the medical event took place. A Irish resident who received their booster dose in France must apply to the French authorities for a Digital COVID Certificate as proof of that vaccination.

Any Irish citizen or resident who is not able to access a Digital COVID Certificate in the Member State where they underwent a medical event, in this case France, can contact the Irish Embassy in that country for support and representation.
