People must create an account and upload a valid government-issued ID such as a driver's license, state ID or passport. Vaccinations done in another state or country may not be shown, though records can still be requested from a doctor's office or local health department.
COVID-19 vaccinations are included in the portal. Elizabeth Hertel, director of the state Department of Health and Human Services, said that will enable people who have misplaced their COVID-19 vaccine card to print a record of it.
