NSW residents can now prove they're double vaccinated at the same time they check into venues after the vaccine passport was quietly launched overnight.
For those who have received both jabs and have the updated Service NSW app on their phones, their vaccine status will pop up when they check into a venue using the standard QR code process.
Sydneysiders earlier had to scroll through their Medicare app or carry a paper certificate to prove to staff they'd been jabbed but now a green tick will appear whenever they sign into a business.

For those wanting to take advantage of the new 'VaxPass' they will need to ensure their MyGov account account has been linked to Medicare.
Then either through the online MyGov site or the Express Plus Medicare app users are instructed to click 'Proof of vaccinations' and then 'View history'.
They will then be given the option to choose their Covid vaccine digital certificate and link this with the Service NSW app.
