How to use CoWIN for COVID-19 vaccination services

  1. Open the official CoWIN website. Use the Government of India portal rather than links received from unknown messages or advertisements.
  2. Sign in with the mobile number linked to your vaccination record. Complete OTP verification when the portal asks for it.
  3. Review the services shown for your account. Depending on current Government policy and local availability, the portal may provide vaccination records, centre or appointment-related options and certificate services.
  4. Choose the required service. If vaccination booking is available, select a centre and available slot shown by the portal. For an existing vaccination record, use the certificate or status option.
  5. Keep the confirmation safely. Save the appointment details or certificate to your device. Carry the identification or documents requested by the vaccination centre.
Important: COVID-19 vaccine eligibility, recommended doses, vaccine availability and centre operations may change. This page does not prescribe a vaccine or dose schedule. Follow the current advice of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, your doctor and the vaccination centre.

Download a COVID-19 vaccination certificate

Vaccination certificates can be accessed through CoWIN. Government guidance also recognises supported services such as Aarogya Setu and DigiLocker for certificate access. Use the same mobile number associated with the vaccination record when authentication is required.
