# Issuing COVID-19 Vaccination Certificates in  Sri Lanka

## **Overview**

Sri Lanka went live with DIVOC in July 2021. DIVOC has been integrated with an existing platform in Sri Lanka - the District Health Information Software (DHIS2) - to generate COVID-19 certificates for its citizens. DIVOC has also set up a portal to verify these certificates.

Sri Lanka’s Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) in collaboration with the Department of Health (DOH) has implemented DIVOC. The integration of DIVOC with DHIS2 was a collaborative effort by HISP Sri Lanka (local DHIS2 partner) and the ICTA.

We will give you an overview of the different features and services of DIVOC that have been implemented in Sri Lanka and the standard used.

## Platform release version&#x20;

1.23.3 - generic. We are in the process of upgrading it to version 2.0.

## Features and services

[**Certificate generation:**](/divoc-wiki-3.1/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/creating-a-divoc-certificate.md) DIVOC provides the latest COVID-19 certificate on demand for any Sri Lankan citizen, mostly those who are traveling abroad so that they can confirm their vaccination status. So far, 3,68,490 certificates have been generated on demand. DIVOC supports the generation of multi-lingual certificates in Sri Lanka.

[**Certificate verification:**](/divoc-wiki-3.1/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/verifying-a-divoc-certificate.md) The verification portal can be used to verify the QR code-based certificates after they are generated by the system.

[**Updating certificates:**](/divoc-wiki-3.1/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/updating-a-divoc-certificate.md) Any mistakes or changes in the certificate (dose 1, 2, 3) are done through this service when a citizen requests it.

[**Revoking certificates:**](/divoc-wiki-3.1/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/revoking-a-divoc-certificate.md) This service will be provided to Sri Lanka after we upgrade the platform to version 2.0.

## Standards used&#x20;

* All COVID-19 certificates issued in Sri Lanka are compliant with the WHO-Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC) data specification.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://divoc.digit.org/divoc-wiki-3.1/products/issuing-covid-19-vaccination-certificates-in-sri-lanka.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
