How to add to Wallet
If you have an existing verifiable vaccination record stored in the Health app
Open the Health app.
Select Summary.
Under Vaccination Record select Add to Wallet.
Once you add your vaccination card in the Wallet app, you can view and present it at any time. The front of the card shows your name, the vaccine type, the dates of the doses administered, the issuer, and the QR code.
The full details of your vaccination card won’t be visible until you’ve authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.
How to add your verifiable health records
Depending on where you received your COVID-19 vaccinations and tests, you can securely download and store your verifiable health records in the Health app using a QR code or downloadable file.
If you received your COVID-19 vaccinations and tests through a healthcare provider that supports Health Records on iPhone and verifiable health records, you can connect to your provider in the Health app. After you connect, your available verifiable health records are automatically downloaded.
How to view a verifiable health record
Once you’ve downloaded and stored a verifiable health record in the Health app, you can view it at any time.
Open the Health app, select Browse.
Select Immunizations or Lab Results.
Select the verifiable health record that you want to view.
Your verifiable health record in the Health app contains information such as your first and last name, date of birth, vaccine or test administered, as well as the QR code associated with that verifiable health record.
How to share a verifiable health record
You can choose to share verifiable health records with third-party apps when an approved app requests access to this information. When apps request access to verifiable health records, you can select which specific records to share, and those records are shared only once with the app. Third party apps do not have continuous access to verifiable health records that you share.
Because these records are in a verifiable format, if you choose to share these lab result and immunization records with third party apps — like businesses or event venues — third party apps can confirm that the record was issued by the lab test or vaccine provider, and has not been altered since it was issued.
Apple is not part of the third party’s verification process and will not have access to this data when imported or shared.
