Patient Q&A: Can foreign nationals use Shanghai's electronic vaccination certificate service?
Shanghai's official vaccination-certificate guide says foreign nationals can apply for an electronic vaccination certificate if they have been vaccinated in Shanghai and already have an electronic vaccination record in the system.
Question: If a patient or accompanying family member was vaccinated in Shanghai, can a foreign national obtain and use the city's electronic vaccination certificate?
Answer: According to Shanghai's official guide, anyone vaccinated in Shanghai who has an established electronic vaccination record may apply for the certificate, and the page explicitly says foreign nationals can apply. The guide says users can access the service through the Suishenban app or mini programs on Alipay and WeChat, and it notes that international language versions are available.
The same source also says the electronic certificate and the paper vaccination document are currently used concurrently, so travelers should still bring the paper record when getting vaccinated. If help is needed, the page lists the consultation line 400-8366086 with service hours from 9 am to 6 pm.
