Compliance with internationally used COVID-19 certificate schemas

Digitally verifiable certificates have emerged as a solution to help open up businesses and travel globally during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There are four major COVID-19 certificate schemas popularly used in the world today:

• EU-DCC

• DIVOC (native COVID-19 certificate schema)

• Smart Health Cards

• ICAO-VDS

As the interoperability of these certificate schemas is critical to streamline the international travel process, DIVOC has added the ability to issue digital certificates in the EU-DCC and SmartHealthCard formats, in addition to the native DIVOC COVID-19 certificate format. This will enable citizens of a country, which is using a DIVOC certificate system, to export their native certificates in a format that is acceptable in the travel destination country.

Note: DIVOC will also add the capability to export the certificates in the ICAO-VDS format in 2022.
