    How long is the wait on the certificate phone line? I was on about 50mins yesterday and gave up.

    I have the card from my doctor and it says on the phone that that should be sufficient for eating out.

    I don't plan on going abroad. So should I bother getting the Digital one? When I put my details into the online checker it tells me to call the Helpline, they don't have all my details correct or something like that. I dont see the point wasting hours waiting on a phone if the doctors card is enough... or can places refuse it ??

    I have the Italian app, and it appears to pay no attention whatsoever to the date of one's vaccinations - once you've got them, you immediately scan as valid.

    Far too much of this scheme was left to national authorities. This was one time the EU should have assumed more authority and implemented a single standard.

    Lads, I've been on hold for an hour. The line has just started telling me "the minimum wait time is over 90mins"


    Is that 90mins from the moment I dialled, or 90mins from now? If it's the latter then I'm hanging up. I should not have to do this, I have things to do. This is a complete lack of consideration for people's time.

    I get 'lhr Zertifikat ist zeitlich abgelaufen' which is your certificate has expired. The Austrians have some strange rules, 21 days if I recall correctly for J&J

    I was out in company with some friends last Friday who only had the small card issued at time of vaccination, one restaurant accepted it no problem, visited a couple of pubs after the restaurant, 1 place declined allowing them drink indoors with the rest of us who had the digital cer,t which the barman /door person scanned at the door of the premises and allowed us to enter the premises.

    Quick q here - I've a valid vaccination cert, in that I'm 7 days post 2nd Pfizer. When I scan the QR code it now it says it's valid, but there's no green tick. Similarly for my wife, she's still within the 7 days so it says it's invalid but there's no red tick.


    I've tried it on my Huawei P20 Pro, her OnePlus 6T and my Dad's OnePlus 3 and got the same result each time.


    It is valid, but if the default assumption in places becomes that Green Tick is needed for proof, then it might become a problem.


    Anyone else have this issue?

    I don't know how it works but I heard "90 mins" message repeatedly for 2 or 3 hours and suddenly somebody answered. This happened twice to me actually.

    This is very depressing if true. A bit like the special passport service that TDs have access to (or used to) on behalf of their constituents whereby they speed up passport applications. It means that bad service from the HSE is an advantage to the TD who gets to do a favour for a constituent.

    Got second vaccine yesterday, and no cert yet. Checked on the online checker and it says missing info. Has anyone received theirs a few days after the vaccine in this situation or will I just have to take the hit and ring the helpline and wait for several hours? I also note the option of 'if you have not received the cert and it has been 5 days since your vaccine', so is there no point ringing until the 5 days is up?

    Yes it will say missing info for a few days. Wait at least 5 days before calling them.

    App is the easiest to be perfectly honest. It just sits there, not like its any extra burden.

    Theres plenty of other apps such as green pass, presuming it's available on apple.

    Can I ask what is the difference doing this or just taking a picture of it ? Not techie so I realise the answer may be completely obvious .

    Meanwhile ..

    Still ringing the helpline every few days when I get time to sit on the phone for my husband's dcc .

    Vaccinated by GP nearly 3 months ago now but nothing in the post ( or email although did not expect him to get it that way . )

    We postponed our holiday earlier in the month but are going now in September , and it is such a pain in the axxe ., this bloody un - helpline :(

    Whether TDs can access a special emergency line or not I will be contacting mine to complain about this totally sxxx service !

    What a way to end a completely successful vaccination campaign by pissing people off with this bureaucracy 😠

    Sorry for the rant everybody .

    OK, thanks.

    They must have heard my rant. Phone just answered there and managed to get oh's details sorted.

    A lot of important info that my husband actually witnessed being inputted by GP before his jabs, was missing.

    They have to verify with the GP we were told by a very nice person on the helpline that following that the cert would be in the post.

    Contacted GP who is spitting feathers now, as about a quarter ( randomly) of his vulnerable patients have no certs because of whatever glitch happened on the system and most would be elderly and less able to navigate the system than us.

    Now all we have to do is wait for the cert....

    Might take a while, I had my vaccine on a Tuesday and didn't get the cert until Saturday (~3.5 days later).

    I wouldn't celebrate just yet.

    I got my 2nd dose on 11th June from the GP. Was expecting my cert in the post but nothing arrived. Got through to the helpline on 31st July and apparently they didn't have all my details. Gave them everything they asked for and emailed a photo of my passport to them and got a reply to say I'd have it in 5 days.

    6 days pass and still no sign of it. Get through to the helpline on Tuesday and they say they can see my case in the system and the delay might be down to the bank holiday. Tell me to give it another couple of days and it should appear in my email.

    Nothing.

    There's no difference between a screenshot and an app (and a printout for that matters).

    However, screenshot/image isn't the best idea - as time passes, it would take you more and more time to find where the picture is. There are quite a few apps that allows you to add the QR code to your app or wallet or watch. There's also issues with resolutions on some of the phones where a screenshot isn't clear enough for the code to be recognised.

    I can now open my QR code by just double-pressing the power button on my phone and on my watch, instead of having to unlock the phone first, open my albums, scroll through a million tiny thumbnails and find the correct picture.


    Btw, if you got it from your GP and it has been weeks, contact your GP first and make sure they have everything correct (and that they have submitted it to the correct department for the certificate to be issued). It's more likely that they either didn't send it or had the wrong address/name/DOB/PPSN that results in the file being automatically rejected.

    I eventually got my cert in the post this week GG and status on the website had been saying missing info etc, call them. So I had to do nothing in the end and it arrived. Hopefully your hubbies will be with you soon.

    Has anyone travelled with a middle name on their passport but only first and last name on their covid cert?
