Identification Proof:
Validation of vaccination will be based on two key identifiers:
- Name of the identification holder; and
- Date of birth
Photo identification is not required.
Proof of identity can be established using documentation issued by an institution or public body, provided it includes the name of the holder and date of birth.
Examples of identification documents that may be used to confirm the identity of the holder of the vaccine receipt include:
- Birth certificate
- Citizenship card
- Driver’s licence
- Government (Ontario or other) issued identification card, including health card
- Indian Status Card /Indigenous Membership Card
- Passport
- Permanent Resident card
Validation of identification is considered to have been completed/successful when the name and date of birth of the presenter of the vaccination receipt, and the name and date of birth on the identification, document match. If the name and date of birth on both documents do not match, the individual will not be allowed to enter the business or organization.
