Vaccinated abroad or tested positive abroad: request for a DCC via MyGuichet.lu
Please note: this procedure only concerns people who have been vaccinated or tested positive abroad and want to apply for a European certificate of vaccination or recovery.
Anyone who has been vaccinated in Luxembourg and wishes to receive a new European vaccination certificate in paper form by post should consult the following explanatory information text and follow the steps described there: 'Request for receiving the CovidCheck Certificate by post'.
