What app can I use to keep my vaccination records and medical history with me while travelling?

HealthPass keeps your conditions, medications, allergies, vaccinations and emergency contacts in one place on your phone, and puts the essentials on an emergency card with a QR code. A first responder abroad scans it and reads it in English, German, French, Spanish or Portuguese, with no app and no login. The card is free, and HealthPass runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download from an app store.

What to keep with you, and why

RecordWhy you need it abroad
Conditions, medications and allergiesWhat a doctor needs before treating you, with generic drug names
Vaccination recordsBoosters due, and certificates a border may ask for, such as yellow fever
Emergency contacts and insuranceWho to call, including your insurer's emergency line
DocumentsDoctor's letters, prescriptions and discharge summaries as scans

How it works

  1. Enter your conditions, medications, allergies and emergency contacts once. You choose which of them the emergency card shows.
  2. Plan a trip, and HealthPass lists the health requirements of your destination (PLUS), such as required or recommended vaccinations.
  3. Keep your vaccination records and scans of certificates and doctor's letters with the rest (PLUS).
  4. In an emergency, anyone can scan the QR code on your phone or on a printed card and read the essentials in their language.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to download HealthPass from an app store?

No. HealthPass runs in the browser on any phone or computer, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. It is not in the App Store or Google Play.

Can a doctor abroad read my records without the app?

Yes. Your emergency card has a QR code. Scanning it opens the card in a browser, in English, German, French, Spanish or Portuguese, with no app and no login. You decide what the card shows, and every time it is opened is recorded.

Can I store my yellow fever certificate and vaccination records?

Yes. Vaccination tracking and document storage for scans such as an International Certificate of Vaccination are part of the PLUS plan. The emergency card itself is free.

Does it work without internet?

Offline access is part of PLUS and PREMIUM: your records stay available on the phone when you have no signal. Keep a printed copy of your emergency card as well, which works without a battery.
