Now link vaccine certificate to passports via CoWIN app, step-by-step process here

There is some good news for international travellers. In a big relief, the Centre's CoWIN portal has now enabled users to link their COVID-19 vaccination certificates to passports.

Giving all details on the linking process the official handle of the Aarogya Setu app tweeted, "Now, you can update your passport number in your vaccination certificate."

The Aarogya Setu app also allows for a one-time name change to ensure that the name on the Vaccine Certificate and the passport are the same.

If there is a mismatch of details meaning the name on the certificate does not match the name on the passport, the person can request for name correction as well on the website.
