As more people inject themselves with the COVID vaccine and life tries to get back to normal, it is necessary to be able to provide proof of vaccination upon request. If you ride public transport or go to a shop, bar or restaurant, you will likely be asked to show your vaccination card. Although there are officially government-approved apps to store these certificates on your phone, you can also add them to iOS Wallet and iOS Health, as well as Google Pay on Android.

How to add a COVID vaccination card to your iPhone
First, open Control Center by swiping down from the battery icon. Tap on the QR code scanner. If you haven’t activated the QR code scanner, go to Settings -> Control Center and activate it.

Confirm you want to add it to your Wallet app and Health app by tapping Add to Wallet & Health.
You will receive confirmation from Apple that you were successful.
Now when you check your health app, you will see a new section called vaccination card. Selecting this will display your COVID vaccination details.
If you go to the wallet app you will also find a card with the QR code that you can scan if someone wants to do this.
Is it possible to add a COVID vaccination card to your Android phone?
Yes it is possible but for some reason the Android method is not as smooth and seamless as iOS. Basically, Google states in their guidelines that the test results must be online (no paper copies) and only some countries are supported. This begs the question of why Google doesn’t support other countries when Apple clearly does.
As of June 2022 supported countries are:
- Australia
- Brazil
- Canada
- jersey
- New Zealand
- Singapore
- Spain
- United Kingdom
- United States
If you live in one of these countries, read Google’s guidelines and find out which healthcare provider you need to go through for this to work. Make sure you also have Google Pay installed.
