The Verify Ontario app is now available for download, one week ahead of schedule.
The province launched its COVID-19 vaccine verification app for businesses yesterday and Premier Doug Ford will be releasing more details at a news conference this morning.
When a proof of vaccination QR code is scanned in the app, it will respond with either a green check, yellow caution sign or a red “X,” which means the certificate is invalid.
The QR code will be made available to individuals on Monday, October 18th, but you still have the option of using paper vaccine receipts to prove your vaccination status.
To ensure a smooth user experience, the province is initially making the enhanced vaccine certificate with scannable QR code available for download in cohorts based on an individual’s birth month over a period of three days:
- January to April: October 15
- May to August: October 16
- September to December: October 17
You can also call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900 to have your enhanced vaccine certificate emailed or mailed to you.
