COVIDCert NI is a digital wallet designed specifically for Health & Social Care Northern Ireland (HSC NI) COVID certificates. It serves as a convenient tool for individuals who require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 while traveling abroad.

The app operates on a voluntary basis, and it is essential for users to carefully read and understand the Terms and Conditions prior to usage.

Functionality:

• If you do not possess a COVID certificate, the app provides assistance in applying for one via nidirect.
• If you have already applied for your COVID certificate, simply log in using your nidirect account.
• Additional proof of identity may be requested during the process.
• Valid COVID certificates will be displayed as a green QR code within the app.
• While traveling, the QR code can be easily scanned to verify a person's COVID certificate status.
• Parents and guardians can access COVID certificates for their dependents under 16 years old.
• Under-16s themselves have the ability to scan and store their COVID certificate QR codes within the app.

Data Privacy:

• The app prioritizes data security and does not share any information regarding an individual's vaccination status.
• Data utilized by the app is strictly limited to what is already registered by nidirect and HSC NI.
• No additional personal information is collected through the app.

The app's functionality will continue to be enhanced in the upcoming months. It has been collaboratively developed by Health & Social Care NI, Department of Health NI, and Digital Transformation Services.
