EU digital certificate now available for download

The EU digital vaccination certificate is now available for download for Maltese citizens. Those who have already downloaded their Maltese vaccination certificate need to login to the same website again, and re-download their certificate. This time round, they will also get the EU certificate, apart from the local one. Both certificates download in a single PDF file.

Further details about the EU vaccination certificate were given on Monday by Health Minister Chris Fearne and parliamentary secretary Alex Muscat. They explained that the EU vaccine certificate is required for travelling within the European Union. Fearne explained that EU-wide Covid-19 system allows passengers to prove that they have been vaccinated.

The vaccine certificates can be downloaded from https://certifikatvaccin.gov.mt

Fearne said that “as of 15 July, Malta will also be on the platform regarding swabbing certificates. This means that it will be possible to download the certificate to show whether you have had a PCR test in the past 72 hours or been previously infected with Covid-19”.

To date, around 220,000 Maltese vaccine certificates have been downloaded, with around 75,000 having downloaded certificates since the EU system was implemented.

Fearne said that the passenger locator form, which has been in force since the start of the pandemic and must be filled in by all travellers, can now be completed online. Travellers can fill the form by accessing https://app.euplf.eu/#/
