A vaccination card shows the dates and doses of vaccines administered. It is required for overseas school enrollment, immigration applications and the entry requirements of some countries.
Vaccine names are translated using their internationally used equivalents; dose dates and batch information are preserved as they appear in the source document. Legibility of handwritten entries is particularly important for this document.
Which institutions request this document?
- Foreign schools — for enrollment procedures
- Immigration authorities — for immigration and residence applications
- Healthcare providers — for continuity of treatment
- Border health units
Certification requirements
Notarization may be required for school and immigration applications.
An apostille can be obtained for records certified by the Provincial Health Directorate; it is issued by a provincial or district governor's office.
There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.
Preparing your document
- Photograph all pages of the card clearly; handwritten entries must be legible
- Ask the institution whether it accepts a record obtained through e-Nabız (the personal health portal)
- If vaccine names cannot be read, obtain a record from the relevant healthcare provider
Frequently asked questions
Can an e-Nabız vaccination record be used?
Many institutions accept it, and it is preferred because it is legible. It is advisable to ask in advance whether it will be accepted.
What happens to illegible handwritten entries?
Illegible sections are marked as "illegible" in the translation. We recommend obtaining a digital record to avoid this situation.
