SMART Health Card

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Starting today, Friday, September 10, 2021, Hawaii will launch a SMART Health Card app that will allow residents to store verification of their vaccination status on their phones.

The SMART Health Card is voluntary.

Residents will still be able to show their physical vaccination cards at businesses that require them.

In a news conference, the governor said the SMART Health Card is being built into the state’s Safe Travels website, which is being used for travelers to upload a photo of their vaccination cards.

Starting today, the SMART Health Card will be an option at travel.hawaii.gov.

“Everyone who has a smartphone would be able to pre-verify their status and then anytime they need to prove their vaccination status, they can use their phone instead of using the vaccination card itself,” said Gov. David Ige.

“The vaccine information provided by individuals will automatically be verified against the state vaccination database. This will help prevent the use of fake vaccination cards,” said Ige.

The state’s Information Technology head says businesses will not have access to the person’s private health information and verification should be quick.
