Verify Ontario

Verify Ontario gives businesses and organizations a quick, easy and trusted way to scan and confirm that visitors are fully vaccinated. The app scans the QR code on an Ontario government-issued vaccine certificate. After scanning a QR code, the business or organization will see: a green checkmark indicating that it meets vaccine requirements, a red X for an invalid certificate, or a yellow warning indicating that the QR code cannot be read. Verify Ontario also scans most government issued QR codes from British Columbia and Québec. Nation-wide capabilities are in development and will be added as provinces issue proof of vaccination with SMART® Health Card QR codes. --- SECURE AND PRIVACY PROTECTING A verification result displays onscreen for 30 seconds, then is deleted. The app does not request a user’s specific location, or collect any information that links specific locations, visitors, or businesses to each other. To help evaluate and improve the app, only metrics such as total number of scans, and the aggregate number of valid, invalid, or warning results are collected. --- INTERNET NOT REQUIRED TO SCAN The app’s scanning feature works without an internet connection. Verify Ontario will need to periodically connect to the internet to update vaccine or entry requirements. You can also update manually on the settings and information page. ---- DEVICE PERMISSIONS AND COMPATIBILITY The app requires camera access and requests camera access permission on first use. Verify Ontario requires a device running iOS 11 or newer.
