Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says a first-stage proof of vaccination will be ready in weeks.
"The first stage is a manual process where you'll be able to download a certificate, and that certificate would be able to be verified. So for example, it might have a QR code on it, that would allow the person that you're showing it to, to scan the QR code," he told Checkpoint.
"Then the next stage would be something digital, which might be something that you store on your phone.
"The ultimate stage for us to get to something that's internationally transferable and internationally recognised, obviously New Zealand can't do that alone so we'll need to be working with other countries."
