The application offers 3 options to load a certificate.

The first option allows you to use one of the identification means of eidentity.cz to connect the application to the Vaccination Portal, from where it will load current certificates and it will automatically download all future updates as well.

The second option allows users to load the certificate via a one-time SMS passcode after logging in at the Vaccination Portal.

The last and perhaps easiest option – if you have certificate with a readable QR code on paper or in another format, you can scan it with the camera on your phone.

If you want to load a certificate into the application from the Vaccination Portal using eidentity.cz, you should have at least one of the identification means of eidentity.cz activated.

You will find more about different identification means and how to obtain them here: https://ockodoc.mzcr.cz/napoveda/eidentita/en/

A one-time SMS passcode allows you to load the current certificate from the Public Vaccination Portal.

It can be obtained in two ways:

1. after entering personal identification number and ID number,
2. or mobile phone number, email, and date of birth.
