The Batch number will appear incorrect as it is not in Malaysia’s vaccination record system.

This is an example of a Digital Certificate for COVID-19 Vaccination (Comirnaty by BioNTech/ Pfizer) done in Hong Kong on MySejahtera.

It will also show that you are fully vaccinated on MySejahtera > Check-In page (“MySJ Trace” Tab)

Issues

After submission, if it shows that you are partially vaccinated, or not all doses are updated, use the same steps as above to resubmit the dose which is missing.
Some users failed to get their e-cert updated because they uploaded the overseas vaccination documents without their names, ID number or vaccination details. Make sure that all important information is shown.

Use compressjpeg (jpeg), Docupub (PDF) to compress the file to less than 200kb.

Cannot go Next, loading indefinitely… or Error: “Cannot Connect to Server”

Use other browsers (use Microsoft Edge, etc.) or devices, computer, etc.

If there is no batch/ serial number in your overseas vaccine certificate

You can enter other that you can find on the cert such as document number. Otherwise just type “Not applicable”.

If you have not updated MySejahtera with your overseas vaccination details when you travel

That’s fine. You can show the officers at the Malaysian airport/ International Gateway your Overseas Vaccine Certificate. It would be handier if you printed it out.

Only one document is allowed to be uploaded

Combine the vaccination cert and your ID document together in one image/ PDF file.
