COVIDCert Check NI

COVIDCert Check NI has been developed by Health and Social Care Northern Ireland to assist organisations with checking their customers’ COVID-19 status in Northern Ireland.

The official Cert Check NI app is a secure way to verify an individual’s COVID certificate. It verifies that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, had a negative test, or have recovered from COVID-19.

A user, such as a member of your staff, can use the Cert Check NI app to scan and verify an individual’s COVID certificate, in order to gain access to your venue or event.
