Take a few minutes to know how to add a digital copy of your vaccination certificate to your iPhone, android and Samsung phone. Here are a few options I’ve listed out for you.

Across the world, companies, apps and municipalities are making it easier to digitally store and display your COVID-19 vaccination certificate. As the delta plus variant continues to spread, cities and offices are doubling down on COVID-19 safety protocols. While most companies are asserting on getting the shot, many establishments are making it a necessity. You may now have to show vaccination proof for entry into gyms, restaurants, offices and more.

Instead of carrying around the certificate in your wallet and you may sometimes even forget to carry it. Take a few minutes to add a digital copy of your vaccination certificate to your phone. Here are a few options I've listed out for you.

Remember that at present there isn't a single national system or app to present vaccination proof on your mobile. Some places may accept a picture of your vaccination certificate, others may ask you to use an app that's been implemented at the state level. I recommend you to research what your local city or state will accept as proof as it can vary. For example, a few abroad countries will accept a "physical copy of a COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate, a digital copy of such certificate or such other proof as is permitted locally."
