Enhanced COVID-19 Vaccine Certificate

On October 22, 2021 the Ontario government's "Enhanced COVID-19 Vaccine Certificate" will come into effect. 

In advance of this launch, Ontarians are able to access their enhanced vaccine certificate with official QR code from the COVID-19 Vaccine Portal now. 

Individuals can also call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900 to have their enhanced vaccine certificate emailed or mailed to them.

For businesses, the free made-in Ontario verification app, Verify Ontario, is available for download on the Apple App and Google Play stores. 

At the door, patrons will be asked to show:

• Their enhanced COVID-19 vaccine certificate (virtual or print out) and;
• A government issued ID 

While the current vaccine receipt without a QR code remains valid and will continue to be accepted, the province is encouraging individuals to download their enhanced vaccine certificate with a QR code as an easier, more secure and convenient way to have their proof of vaccination verified.
