Vaccine Certificate Verifier app is launched by the government to verify the authenticity of both printed and digital COVID-19 vaccination certificates in the MySejahtera app. It also supports the verification of vaccine certificates issued by Singapore and the European Union. 

It is reported that the updated QR code format on the electronic vaccination certificate can only be scanned with Vaccine Certificate Verifier app. The vaccination information will not be displayed if you are using ordinary mobile phone scanning software.

Steps 

1. Download the Vaccine Certificate Verifier app from the Apple App Store, Google Play and Huawei App Gallery. 

2. After clicking "Verify Certificate" on the Vaccine Certificate Verifier app, open the other party's MySejahtera to view his/ her vaccination certificate. Then, scan the QR code with the app.

3. The screen will display whether the QR code is valid (Valid / Invalid). Then there will be the name of the vaccinated person, ID number and birthday, the type of vaccine being vaccinated, vaccine manufacturer, serial number and vaccine deadline, etc.

In addition, Dr Kailu Hafez, the founder and chairman of MedTweetMY, suggested that the business owner can request the customers to show their identity cards so that they can cross-check with the IC number on the vaccination certificate to ensure that the customer is not using someone else’s vaccination certificate.

Arisman, a doctor at a clinic in Shah Alam, also reminded the business owner to check the vaccination certificate presented by the customer to make sure that the customer presented the genuine certificate using the My Sejahtera mobile app. He also reminded the business owner not to accept the screenshot of the vaccination certificate.
