If you have been fully vaccinated in a country outside the EU, you can have your vaccination registered in the Netherlands if at least one of the following applies to you:
- you are a Dutch national;
- you live in the Netherlands;
- you were vaccinated in Aruba, Curaçao or St Maarten.
If you received one dose outside the EU and one dose in the Netherlands you can also have your vaccination registered.
Call for an appointment in Utrecht, Amsterdam or Rotterdam
To register your vaccination you will need to make an appointment by calling +31 30 800 2899. If other people in your family want to have their vaccination registered at the same time, you will need to make an appointment for each individual and you must all appear in person.
You will be sent the exact address with your appointment confirmation. You will need to take the following documents to your appointment:
Uploading your EU COVID Certificate to CoronaCheck
You can then upload your EU COVID Certificate in CoronaCheck. This will mean you can prove throughout the EU – including The Netherlands – that you have been vaccinated.
If you are unable to upload your proof of vaccination in CoronaCheck
If you were vaccinated abroad and received proof of vaccination via the method described here, but are unable to upload your proof of vaccination in CoronaCheck, follow the steps below:
- On the printout with the international QR code you received from the GGD, is the vaccine you received described as ‘Inactivated-SARS-CoV-2-Vero-Cell’?
- If not, contact the CoronaCheck Helpdesk on 0800 1421 for further assistance. Or if you are calling from abroad: +31 70 750 37 20.
- If your vaccine is recorded as such, is it listed as BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) or CoronaVac (Sinovac) on your original proof of vaccination?
- If so, you have unfortunately been issued with an incorrect proof of vaccination. Please make a new appointment with the GGD in Utrecht, Amsterdam or Rotterdam by calling + 31 30 800 28 99. You will then be issued with a new proof of vaccination that you can upload.
- If not, you have unfortunately been issued with an incorrect proof of vaccination. You cannot be issued with proof of vaccination for use in the Netherlands due to the vaccine you received. This is because your vaccine is not on the list of vaccines approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Please complete the form to see if you can be vaccinated in The Netherlands on the website of the Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM.nl) .
Other options: proof of recovery or negative test result
If you are unable to come to Utrecht, Amsterdam or Rotterdam but wish to travel abroad or attend an event, you can generate a COVID Certificate for travel or a COVID Certificate to attend an event using proof of recovery or a negative test result.
