St. John's 
N.L. government released the details of the province’s vaccine passport today.
Like Quebec’s vaccination passport, two applications, NLVaxPass and NLVaxVerify will be available to download through App Store or Google Play Store starting October 8th.
Vaccine passport will be mandatory in the province starting October 22nd.
NLVaxPass
NLVaxPass, a COVID-19 vaccination record in the form of a QR code, is for residents for presentation and to gain access to places requiring mandatory vaccines and NLVaxVerify is for businesses to verify the authenticity of the digital pass.
NLVaxPass will convert vaccine information into a QR code and store it in a digital wallet. After the QR code is generated, one can also print/view a PDF copy or request a copy via mail.
Those who do not have access to technology or family/friends to assist, may call 1-833-951-3859 to request a printed copy, or visit their local public library.
To access a business or venue for non-essential and recreational activities, residents 19+ will also have to show photo identification in addition to the NLVaxPass record. For those fully vaccinated between the ages of 12-18, proof of identity can be in the form of a birth certificate, MCP card, or other identification that includes their name and date of birth.
Province says those with exemptions due to specific medical reasons will also be issued a COVID-19 vaccination record QR code. The government is yet to announce more details of this program.

NLVaxVerify
Businesses can use NLVaxVerify for confirmation of proof of vaccination. This application will indicate whether conditions have been met for successful proof of vaccination and entry to the business after scanning the QR code.
Visitors to the province can show vaccination records from their home province, territory or country along with an identification card.
Unlike many other provinces, N.L. is also making vaccines mandatory for people working at the locations where vaccination is mandatory for access starting December 1, 2021.
