Fully vaccinated Filipinos traveling locally can now apply for a VaxCertPH digital vaccine certificate as proof of immunization against COVID-19.

The digital vaccine certificate was previously available only for those traveling abroad, but the Inter-Agency Task Force on COVID-19 recently approved the adoption of VaxCertPH for domestic travel.

Individuals can generate their own vaccination certificates but in cases where there are errors in pulling up data, the applicant may need to upload their vaccination card and a valid ID to verify their record.

The site will ask you to confirm your vaccination status and input personal details as may be indicated in your vaccination card. You will also need to input the date and place of your vaccination.

Be sure to double check your vaccination details before continuing! You will then eb asked to type up a seven-digit character combination that will be shown on your screen to begin the validation process.

Once the system has pulled up your vaccination records, you may choose to generate your digital vaccination certificate or input your passport number if you're using it for international travel. You also have the option to update your vaccination record.

After generating the digital vaccination certificate, you may download it from the website, print a copy, or simply take a screenshot of it.

VaxCertPH is required for individuals travelling to Iloilo City and Negros Occidental. Other destinations simply require vaccination cards from tourists, while some have waived the negative RT-PCR and antigen test result requirement. The portal was developed by the Department of Information and Communications Technology for the Department of Health.
