Northern Ireland’s Digital Covid Certificates are now being issued without date restrictions.
The Department of Health has revealed that more than 220,000 of the digital Covid travel ‘passports’ have been issued to people in Northern Ireland and they are now being issued without any date restrictions.
The passports will also now automatically renew once they expire.
Dr Eddie O’Neill said: “Given the very strong demand for the certificates in the summer, we had to limit applications to prioritise those who were about to head off for their holidays.
“Such date restrictions no longer apply — anyone who wants a COVIDCert NI certificate is free to apply for one right now. If you intend to travel abroad at any point in the next 12 months, you should apply as soon as possible.
“I can also confirm that the certificates in the COVIDCert NI app now auto renew, without users having to take any further action. Renewed pdf certificates can also be accessed via your nidirect account online.”
