Proof of COVID-19 vaccination status

Find out when to use an International Travel Vaccination Pass or COVID-19 vaccination record as proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status.

International Travel Vaccination Certificate

When you may need it

If you are travelling overseas and must show proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status, you need an International Travel Vaccination Certificate.

This certificate is available to anyone aged 5 or over who has had any dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in New Zealand.

We also recommend downloading a copy of your COVID-19 vaccination records from My Covid Record to use alongside your International Travel Vaccination Certificate.

What information is on it

Your International Travel Vaccination Certificate has a QR code with information about the COVID-19 vaccine doses you have had in New Zealand. 

The details on it must match your passport — you can review these when you request the certificate.  

The International Travel Vaccination Certificate complies with EU Digital COVID Certificate standards.  

It is valid for 12 months.

You can no longer request a new My Vaccine Pass. If you require proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status, you can still get a copy of your vaccination record or an International Travel Vaccination Certificate.

When you may need it

It can be used: 

  • as evidence of your vaccinations if required by an employer — including under the New Zealand vaccine mandate 
  • alongside your International Travel Vaccination Certificate. 

Your vaccination record cannot be used instead of a My Vaccine Pass or an International Travel Vaccination Certificate.

What information is on it

Your COVID-19 vaccination record includes:

  • batch numbers
  • dose number
  • vaccine type
