The certificate will be issued automatically and be available from the myHealth app, or if digital prescriptions are activated, it will also be sent in the form of a barcode as an SMS or in PDF form to the individual's e-mail. If there e-prescriptions are not activated, the certificate can be printed by the doctor.

The validity of the certificates can then be verified via the myhealth.gov.gr/verify site using taxisnet codes, by entering the barcode and other details.

They remain valid for one year after the date of issue.
