International Vaccination Certificate

The International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate provides a secure record of vaccinations for people travelling internationally. It’s been developed to meet agreed international travel standards.

You can get your international certificate online when you’re getting ready to travel if any of these apply:

• you have a current Australian passport
• you are an Australian dual citizen with a current Australian passport and a foreign passport
• you have a foreign passport with an Australian visa.

You must have had at least one dose of an approved or recognised COVID-19 vaccine. Remember to check both of the following when you’re planning your trip:

• the entry requirements on the website of the country you’re visiting
• the travel requirements for the airlines you travel with.

Your vaccination provider needs to report your COVID-19 vaccinations to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) before you can get your international certificate.
