When New Zealand moves into the traffic light system this Friday, you will need to use your My Vaccine Pass to go to certain places.
If you don’t have the accepted forms of ID to set up your MyCovidRecord.nz account, you can call 0800 222 478, 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week, or email [email protected]
🚦 Get My Vaccine Pass in-person
If you don’t have the right forms of ID, or don’t have access to a printer, you can visit a pharmacy that offers COVID-19 vaccination. Find a list of these here: https://www.healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19-vaccination/?primaryBranch=pharmacy
If you know someone who does not have access to the internet, please help them to do this too.
🚦If you don’t have your own email address
If you have a shared email address, you will need to create a new email for each person who needs a My Vaccine Pass. This is for privacy rea*ons, because people have different medical records. You can also go to a pharmacy if you don’t want to get your own email address.
🚦 If you were vaccinated overseas
If you were vaccinated overseas, you need to apply to add your vaccinations to the COVID-19 Immunisation Register (CIR) - this can take up to 14 days. Once these have been added, from 2 December you will be able to request your My Vaccine Pass through MyCovidRecord.nz, as long as the vaccinations you received are one of the 8 approved vaccines.

🚦 Who doesn’t need a My Vaccine Pass?
Children under 12 years and 3 months will not be required to show proof of vaccination.
Everyone will still be able to access essentials without a My Vaccine Pass. This includes supermarkets, pharmacies, petrol stations, public transport, schools and early learning service providers, housing and housing support services, and health and disability services.
