The Co-WIN portal now includes a feature that allows users
to add their passport numbers on vaccination certificates. This decision
has come as a huge relief to Indians who need to provide vaccination
information before travelling abroad.

The Union Health Ministry stated earlier this month while
issuing a standard operating procedure (SOP) for vaccination of people
undertaking international travel for educational or employment purposes, or as
part of the national contingent for the Tokyo Olympics, that vaccination
certificates should be linked with passport details.

Here are the steps to link passport:

1. Login to the CoWin website

2. Select ‘Raise a Issue’

3. Select the passport option

4. Select the person from the
drop-down menu

5. Enter the passport number

6. Submit. You will then receive the new
certificate in seconds.

Another tweet from the Aarogya Setu handle stated that if a
person’s name on their passport does not match the name on their vaccine
certificate, a correction can be made. However, on the Co-WIN portal, a user
can only request the correction once.
