A venue or business may ask to see your COVID-19 digital certificate, which you can show them by tapping on your certificate. They’ll then see your name, date of birth and vaccination status. A venue may also ask to see another form of ID, for example your driver licence, to confirm the identity on your COVID-19 digital certificate.
Venues don’t keep or store any of your check-in info or your vaccination status.
