Bit of a late-comer to the discussion, but I was being lazy in the hope that Taiwan would not start checking vaccine certificates to access certain venues. Now it is so here I am.
I took the first two jabs in Taiwan, had them recognised in Italy and took the booster there a couple of months ago. I was issued a Green Pass (that’s how the digital vaccine certificate is called in Italy) with QR code, which I assume is the universal EU format. Can it be scanned and recognised here, as CDC claims, or not? Any feedback on this?
The verification system for digital COVID-19 certificates, which will be available at the website 數位新冠病毒健康證明查驗, can be used to scan the QR codes on digital certificates issued by Taiwan, the CECC said.
It can also scan certificates issued by countries in the European Union and non-EU countries that have joined the EU Digital COVID Certificate system, as Taiwan has also joined the system, the CECC said.
Just got my booster yesterday. Applied for the certificate this morning, it’s only showing my 1st and 2nd shots, not the booster. Is this likely a matter of my data simply not being updated as yet in the NHI’s database?
So basically the idea is to download this PDF file and keep it handy on your phone?
Possibly - but somewhere I read that a dose doesn’t “count” as valid until two weeks after the shot, so that could be another reason. (Sorry, I’ve jumped through too many different pages this morning and I doubt I could find the link again.)
For now that’s what I’m doing. There are definitely apps that are supposed to handle it, but it’s still unclear how they work for the Taiwanese certificates and I’m not going to bother with those until necessary.

This is a web app (website). No installation needed, but requires internet connection.
You can open it on a smartphone, need to allow access to camera. Then just scan the qr code.
Thanks @slawa appreciate it! Btw do you have download links for the German Luca app as well? I heard some places only work with Luca, for whatever reason.
So any clues it you have a EU covid certificate, any reason to try to get one from Taiwan? Or just show the EU one? Can you actually get one in Taiwan without being vaccinated here?
Same here, in the pre-“fixed” version my name showed up in English, albeit with a comma in a weird place, now my name is in Chinese only however keeps the comma in a weird place.
