Documents required for the vaccination

As it is a significant problem for the government to ensure that everyone between 18-45 and overcome this problem, the government introduced this CoWIN app. Therefore, you will have to provide your actual documents for identification.

  1. Aadhaar card.
  2. Driving license.
  3. Pan card.
  4. Passport.
  5. Voter id card.
  6. Pension document.
  7. Passbooks issued by bank or post office.
  8. Official identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs/MLCs.
  9. Service identity card, which is issued for the employees by central/ state government/ companies.
  10. Health insurance smart card issued under the scheme of the ministry of labor.
  11. Mgnrega job card, which is also known as the Mahatma Gandhi national rural employment guarantee act.

What to do if OTP does not come from the CoWIN app?

This is also a significant problem while you will be registering yourself for the covid-19 vaccination. Because some of the time, due to the technical issues over the CoWIN application, the OTP can not come to verify the phone number.

In this situation, You need to go on the cowin.gov.in website, Umang and Aarogya Setu App and do all the similar steps to tell you previously for the “steps to get registered yourself for the covid-19 vaccination”.
