A certificate confirming COVID-19 infection can be obtained on My pages on Heilsuvera under the COVID-19 tab or by e-mail at mottaka(at)landlaeknir.is with „Confirmation of previous COVID-19 infection“ in the subject line. The certificates are free of charge.
Certificate of recovery will be sent 10 days after diagnoses. If you need a certificate of recovery to travel earlier (fit to fly) you need to contact the primary health care service, e.g. through their online web chat.
Vaccination certificates are valid for 270 days (9 months) from primary vaccination. Primary vaccination is considered complete when the second dose of two has been given or when the Janssen injection was given. After the booster dose, there is no specific validity period for certificates.
COVID-19 vaccination certificates are available on the website Heilsuvera.is under the COVID-19 tab. They are free of charge. An electronic ID is required to sign into Heilsuvera. To obtain a vaccination certificate, you must enter a passport number (travel documents). For those who do not have an electronic ID, the certificate can be obtained from your healthcare centre.
Testing for travel abroad can be obtained in several places, but the rules vary from country to country. It is important to familiarise yourself with the rules at destinations about what is required.
