Vaccination Proof and Certificates
After receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, you will be able to download a vaccine certificate with a QR code. Your vaccine certificate is an electronic record of your COVID-19 vaccination, including information about each dose, which can serve as a personal health record and/or proof of vaccination.
- For more information, visit the Province's Proof of COVID-19 vaccination webpage.
Ontario no longer requires businesses and organizations to check for proof of vaccination.
Individuals may be required to show proof of vaccination by using your vaccine certificate when travelling within and outside of Canada. Check applicable requirements for your destination.
How to get your vaccine certificate
1. Online through the COVID-19 vaccination portal
If you provided an email address at the time of your vaccination, you will receive an email from the Ministry of Health with a link to the COVID-19 vaccination portal. You can use this link to get your certificate.
Note: the link expires in 5 days. After that time, you can visit the COVID-19 vaccination portal to download your vaccination certificate.
To log in and get your certificate you will need:
- Your green photo OHIP card (you will need numbers from both the front and back of the card, expired cards will be accepted)
- Your date of birth
- Your postal code (the one associated with your health card)
2. Request a copy from the Province
If you have a red and white health card, do not have a health card, or would like a digital or paper copy of your vaccination certificate sent to you, call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900. This line is available Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (excluding holidays).
