Members of the public intending to travel overseas are required to send an application for the vaccination certificate.

Traveling individuals are required to send an application for the vaccination certificate to the Ministry of Health and Medical Services via email: covidvaxcertificate@gmail.com and attach scanned copies of the following documents:

  1. Vaccination card (front and back copy)
  2. Bio data page of passport
  3. Travel itinerary (as a proof of travel)
  4. Permit Number or Citizen Number if not a Fijian citizen.

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services stated that the complete set of documents when received would be used to verify the individual’s vaccination status.

“…This process is expected to take three to seven days. Delays may be experienced if the information provided is not verifiable with the vaccine registration system,” the ministry stated.

“Any individual who has been vaccinated in another country will need to provide an internationally recognised vaccination certificate issued by that country, therefore, they need not apply for a vaccination certificate from the Fijian Government.”

The ministry also advises the public that this service is free of charge.
