Vaccination certificate for Swedish residents who have received a vaccination in a third country
Swedish residents who have been vaccinated in third countries (countries outside the EU/EEA) can receive a vaccination certificate.
You must:
-
be registered in Sweden
-
have a digital mailbox that can receive official mail
You must have been vaccinated against COVID-19 with a vaccine that is approved in the EU or a vaccine that is on the WHO's Emergency Use Listing for vaccines.
You must have received the final vaccination in a series in a third country. Third countries are countries outside the EU/EEA and countries where it is not possible to obtain a vaccination certificate, even though the country is linked to the EU's system for digital covid certificates.
You must be able to present documents to verify your identity and original documents about the vaccinations you received abroad.
If you are 16 or older, you can apply for the vaccination certificate yourself. Guardians can request vaccination certificates for children in their care who are under the age of 18. The vaccination certificate is sent to the guardian's registered address.
The vaccination(s) that you received in a third country are not registered in the National Vaccination Register in Sweden.
Applications for vaccination certificates are made to the National Government Service Centre
The National Government Service Centre checks documentation for vaccinations received in third countries.
