Generating proof of vaccination
Until 1 July 2023, you can generate a digital certificate in the CoronaCheck app or at CoronaCheck.nl. You can also print a paper certificate at coronacheck.nl/en/print. This paper certificate can be used for 1 year after that.
You can also generate proof using your overview of vaccinations on mijn.rivm.nl (choose English) or through the organisation that vaccinated you.
If you gave permission for your data to be passed on to RIVM, the organisation that vaccinated you will have done so. You can access your overview of vaccination on mijn.rivm.nl (choose English). If you did not give permission, you can do this now. Or you can ask the organisation that vaccinated you for an overview of your vaccinations.
Proof of vaccination for travel
You do not need a COVID Certificate to travel to countries within the European Union. For countries outside the European Union, different requirements may apply. You may need proof of vaccination. That’s why you should always check the travel advice on nederlandwereldwijd.nl (in Dutch) before you leave.
Confirmation in yellow vaccination booklet
If you have a yellow vaccination book, you can insert your registration card into it. You can also have the GGD record your vaccination in your booklet.
You can have your vaccination entered into your booklet any time after you were vaccinated. To find out where and how to do this, go to the website of the GGD that vaccinated you.
