How to update your yellow International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) booklet?
My vaccination booklet - example here - has my name and passport number on the front.
However, I'm now getting a new passport number.
How does one go about updating these? Can I just transfer the dates into a new one? Some of them have medical centre stamps next to them which I can't easily copy. Or can doctors provide a new one?
(It's a New Zealand booklet, but was updated with vaccinations in the UK as well, if that makes any difference).
Best Answer
There isn't really an official way to "update" them... edited, OK there is a way to update in the UK.
You could get a new booklet and start adding new shots in that one. Then carry both of them with you until the inoculations in the old one no longer apply.
Or you get a new booklet and try to find the original doctor and ask them to enter your older shots in your new booklet along with the proper stamps.
Or just simply use the old one until its shots expire. I used an old one through a couple of passports without any issues at border crossings. As long as the name matches and the shots are properly recorded, the health people at airports & borders seem to be satisfied.
