Recognized by the World Health Organization, the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) has rolled out its online application services for the International Certificate of Vaccination or ICV for COVID-19 in the Philippines. ICV serves as a global travel document with a unique QR code wherein other stakeholders (local and international) can verify the authenticity of the said certificate. Not all countries require the certificate and can accept vaccination cards as proof instead, but having both could avoid you a lot of hassle.

According to the BOQ, the ICV is only open to individuals who have completed their vaccination with the following brands:

– Pfizer

– AstraZeneca

– Johnson & Johnson

– Moderna 

– Sinopharm

– Sinovac

Priority will also be given to international travelers (OFWs, seafarers, and tourists) who have overseas contact or booking confirmations. The certificates cost PHP 300 and PHP 70 as a convenience fee (depending on the chosen mode of payment).
