In the certificate app, the application, issue, publish, and read (authentication) are used by using the application on your smartphone.The issuance of the vaccination certificate is free and the app can be installed for free.

In the vaccination certificate app, you can check the vaccine manufacturer, the number of vaccinations, the date and time, name, date of birth, etc., and issue unique QR code.By indicating this code, it becomes a "certificate" of the vaccination.It can be used as a vaccination certificate when traveling overseas, and can be used as a certificate in Japan.

The vaccination certificate (electronic version) is available in Japan and overseas.The information included in the code is as follows.

Name, date of birth (for overseas only) Roman character name, passport number, nationality / region

Vaccine type (eg, Pfizer) Product name of the vaccine (eg, cominati) Vaccination date Vaccine lot number (overseas only) Vaccination number, vaccination -in vaccination system)labels)

(Domestic use only) 2D code issuer (overseas only for overseas only) Certificate issuing country (overseas only) certificate ID electronic signature

The certificate is available for domestic and overseas use.If you select domestic and overseas use on the app, hold the PIN on the My Number Card, the information such as the date of birth will be automatically obtained.In the case of overseas use, the passport ticket information is taken with a camera and obtained.

After that, if you select the municipalities with the address (the local government where the inoculation ticket was sent), the vaccination information was automatically obtained from the "Vaccination Recording System (VRS)", and the QR code is issued by tapping "Issuing".It will be done.After tapping, the issuance of the QR code is completed in about 20 to 30 seconds.It is possible to apply 24 hours a day, 365 hours, and complete the issuance of vaccination in about 3 minutes.

Overseas use of digital vaccination certificates are supported in 76 countries and regions, including major countries in the United States and Europe, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong (as of December 13).

Network communication is required when issuing a vaccination certificate in the app, but once the issuance has been completed, there is no need for communication in the certificate.It can be displayed in places where radio waves do not reach (offline).

In addition, if the second or third vaccination is performed after issuing the vaccination certificate, it is necessary to issue a vaccination certificate again in the application and update the information.The company states that issuing a certificate that reflects the latest vaccination may take several days to several weeks after vaccination.

A certificate of vaccination for multiple people can be issued and saved with one smartphone.However, the vaccination certificate can be issued only to the person or the legal agent.After changing the model of the smartphone, the app is installed on the new smartphone and a vaccination certificate is issued again.There is no function to migrate a certificate to other terminals.

Until now, the inoculation certificate in Japan has been used with a "vaccination ticket" at the time of vaccination, and has been issued a certificate of "paper" for overseas navigation since July.These certificates are still available, and there is no difference in any of the items and legal effects of the vaccination certificate issued by the app.
