Transfer of your request for official information Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) received by the
Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 18 November 2021 for:
“What information is contained, or used to generate the QR Code on
1. Vaccine Certificate
2. Business Border Exemption document”
The Ministry believes that part 2 of your request regarding the Business Border Exemption
document is more closely connected to the functions of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (MBIE). For this reason, I have decided to partially transfer this part of your request
to MBIE under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act. You can expect a response from MBIE in due course.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at:
[email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
