Choose the correct route
Which Washington immunization record service do you actually need?
Most residents start here
MyIR Mobile
Use MyIR Mobile when you want to access available Washington immunization history for yourself or eligible family members and print available documents.
WAIIS is Washington’s statewide lifetime immunization registry. Professional IIS access is designed for approved healthcare, school and public-health users rather than ordinary consumer sign-in.
WA Verify is useful when you specifically need Washington digital COVID-19 verification and a QR-code record. It is not a replacement for a complete lifetime immunization history or school CIS.
Avoid the wrong login:
If you are an individual or parent who only needs personal records, begin with MyIR. A page asking for approved organizational credentials or Secure Access Washington professional access is generally not the normal family record route.
Jump directly to your Washington record task
Use the section that matches the problem you need to solve.
Main public route
How to get Washington immunization records through MyIR Mobile
Open the official MyIR service
Use Washington DOH’s family-record page or MyIR Mobile directly. Confirm the domain before entering identifying information.
Register or sign in
Create a new account only when you do not already have one. Existing users should sign in or use password recovery.
Enter your own information first
MyIR registration begins with the primary account holder’s information even when the main goal is to access a child’s record later.
Enter accurate demographic information
Use the legal name, birth date, mailing information and contact information most likely connected with Washington healthcare records.
Add possible registry phone numbers
MyIR allows several possible phone numbers to be entered so the matching process can compare them with information stored in the registry.
Complete phone verification
When an exact match is found, the verification code goes to the phone number that matches the Washington registry.
Open Immunizations or Documents
Confirm that the record belongs to the correct person before downloading or printing anything.
Choose the document that fits your task
A general immunization history may work for personal or employment use. Washington schools or child-care programs may need the CIS.
Save a complete private copy
Save the full PDF or print all pages. Avoid relying on a cropped screenshot.
Washington’s official access order:
Washington DOH lists MyIR, a healthcare provider/clinic/pharmacy, the child’s school and a direct Department of Health request as record-access options.
MyIR signup or login is failing? Check these details
No email address
MyIR currently requires an email address to register an account.
Forgot your username
The account username is the email address used when the MyIR account was created.
Password rejected
Check the current password requirements shown by MyIR during registration rather than repeatedly reusing an invalid password.
Existing account
Use password recovery instead of creating a duplicate account when possible.
Wrong profile details
MyIR profile information can be updated before another matching attempt.
Account works but record is not linked
Account creation and registry matching are separate steps. A working login does not automatically mean WAIIS found an exact record match.
MyIR phone matching: the detail that causes many failed searches
MyIR matches personal information against the state registry before linking a private immunization record.
You may enter up to four phone numbers
MyIR says its matching process can search using up to four phone numbers associated with the record. Only one needs to match the registry.
The code goes to the matching registry number
MyIR cannot simply redirect the verification code to an unrelated new number because the registry phone match is part of the security process.
Try historic family numbers
Consider a former mobile number, household number or phone number previously given to the primary healthcare provider.
Text or automated call
MyIR allows verification-code delivery choices for entered phone numbers when those methods are available.
If the verification code goes to a number you no longer use
Do not keep changing random profile information
First identify which provider is most likely to have supplied the old phone number.
Contact the provider
Ask staff to verify the current demographics in both the provider record and, when appropriate, WAIIS.
Retry MyIR after the underlying information is corrected
A profile change inside MyIR does not necessarily change the phone number stored in the state registry.
Phone-update script
“MyIR found or may have found my Washington immunization record, but the verification number in the registry appears to be outdated. Please verify the legal name, birth date, address and phone number in your records and tell me whether the demographic information can be updated in WAIIS.”
Never share the verification code.
Do not send it to an unknown caller, post it online or enter it into an unofficial record-search page.
Parent and guardian access
How to add and access a child’s Washington record
Register the primary adult account
Sign in to the parent or guardian account before adding a family member.
Use Add Family Member or Add a Child
Follow the current MyIR menu options shown after login.
Enter the child’s exact information
Use the legal name, birth date and other information most likely reported by the pediatrician.
Check the parent’s phone information
MyIR may attempt to connect the child’s record using information tied to the primary account holder.
Review each child independently
Siblings can have different provider-reported demographic information even when they live in the same household.
Age 18 transition:
MyIR says family accounts can add children under age 18. A person age 18 or older is treated as an adult and generally needs an individual account.
Pediatrician script
“MyIR cannot link my child’s Washington immunization record. Please verify the child’s exact legal name, date of birth and address, my contact information, and whether the vaccines administered by your office were reported to WAIIS.”
School backup:
Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have IIS access. Depending on staffing, the school may be able to print available student immunization information.
Failed MyIR match
Why MyIR cannot find your Washington immunization record
Former surname
The registry may use a maiden name, previous legal name or older spelling.
Old phone number
The matching number may be a previous household or provider-contact number.
Previous address
The state record may contain an earlier Washington address.
Incorrect birth date
A provider data-entry problem can block an exact match.
Duplicate profiles
Vaccinations may be split across records created with different demographics.
Provider did not report the vaccine
The vaccination may exist only in the provider or pharmacy system.
Vaccine was given outside Washington
Another state, military, VA, federal or Tribal record system may hold the dose.
Washington record is incomplete
Washington DOH states that WAIIS does not contain complete immunization records for every person.
Follow this order before creating another account
Review the MyIR profile
Compare every field with provider and insurance records.
Try previous contact information
Use former names, addresses and phone numbers likely to have been reported.
Ask the provider to check WAIIS
Verify both the vaccination and the patient’s demographics.
Ask for a provider or school printout
This may solve an immediate deadline while the MyIR problem is investigated.
Use Washington DOH record help
Ask whether the problem requires a demographic correction, duplicate review or formal authorization.
Recently vaccinated
New vaccine is missing from MyIR? Refresh before requesting a correction
Sign in to MyIR
Open the immunization area for the correct person.
Select Check for Updates
MyIR says users should refresh the state connection after receiving a new vaccination.
Allow time for provider reporting
A newly administered vaccination may not appear immediately because the provider must first report it to the state registry.
Contact the administering location if it remains missing
Ask the clinic or pharmacy to confirm that the dose was reported and matched to the correct patient.
Important distinction:
Refreshing MyIR only checks for newer registry information. It does not create or medically verify a missing vaccination.
Ask for the provider’s electronic immunization history and any complete WAIIS record it can print.
Pharmacy
Check the location that administered flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, Tdap or other recent adult vaccinations.
Child’s school
Ask whether staff can print the student’s WAIIS record or CIS.
Washington Department of Health
Use the official authorization when you need a direct state record or need it sent to another person or organization.
Complete-provider-record script
“I need my complete immunization history, not only vaccines administered by this practice. Can you print your electronic health-record history and any complete WAIIS record available to you, and tell me whether any doses in your system have not reached the state registry?”

How long the formal request can take
Usually 3–5 business days
The current authorization says requests are usually completed within three to five business days.
Maximum stated window: 15 business days
The form says email, fax or postal-mail records will be sent no later than 15 business days after the signed authorization is received.
Consumer webpage: five business days
Washington’s public family-access page currently describes record delivery within five business days after receipt of the signed form.
Deadline planning:
Use the longer 15-business-day form window when deciding how early to start a school, employer or program record request.
Authorization expiration and revocation
Expiration
Unless ended sooner, the current form says the authorization expires 18 years after signing or when the child turns 18, whichever occurs first.
Revocation
The authorization can be revoked in writing by mail or fax. Revocation does not undo information already released before Washington IIS received the revocation.
Email delivery privacy:
The official form warns that immunization information is not encrypted when ordinary email delivery is requested and that information sent to a third party may no longer have the same privacy protections.

Name or birth-date changes:
Washington DOH currently lists IISRecordUpdate@doh.wa.gov for requests involving name or date-of-birth changes in IIS records.
Do not alter the official PDF or CIS yourself.
Editing a document does not update WAIIS and can make the copy unreliable or unacceptable.
School and child care
How to get a medically verified Washington CIS
Washington’s Certificate of Immunization Status is the state-approved form used to document required immunization information for school and child-care attendance.
Ways families can obtain or prepare a valid CIS
Method
Verification
What the family should do
Validated CIS from WAIIS
Vaccination data comes directly from the medically verified IIS.
Ask a provider, school or child-care program with WAIIS access to print it.
CIS printed from MyIR
The CIS is populated from WAIIS data.
Print it from the linked family record.
Healthcare provider prints CIS
Provider uses medically verified information.
Ask the provider for the Washington-approved CIS rather than a generic vaccine summary if the school specifically asks for CIS.
Hardcopy CIS signed by provider
The healthcare provider verifies manually entered dates.
Bring complete vaccination records for verification.
Hardcopy CIS plus medical records
Authorized school or child-care staff compare the completed CIS with attached medical records.
Enter the vaccine dates on the CIS; do not submit a blank CIS with attachments.
Official other-state registry record
Record comes from another U.S. immunization information system.
Give the complete official record to the Washington school for review.
Complete a hardcopy CIS in the correct order
Enter the child’s identity information
Use the full name and complete date of birth.
Enter every vaccination date
Use month, day and year in the appropriate vaccine row and dose column.
Handle combination vaccines carefully
One administered combination vaccine can correspond to more than one disease row.
Attach acceptable medical documentation
Use provider, clinic, hospital or official registry documentation.
Obtain appropriate verification
A provider can verify the CIS, or authorized school/child-care staff can compare a completed CIS with acceptable attached medical records.
Keep a complete copy
Save the CIS and all supporting pages before submitting them.
Documents that are weak or incomplete by themselves
Vaccination dates provided only verbally
Ask for medically verified written documentation.
Family-created vaccine list
A personal list does not automatically replace verified medical documentation.
Blank CIS with records attached
The vaccine information still needs to be entered on the CIS when using the manual route.
First-day timing:
Washington’s family guidance says required immunization documentation is provided on or before the child’s first day of school or child-care attendance and is often collected during registration.
The student’s record indicates the required immunization documentation is complete for the applicable school or child-care assessment.
Not Complete
Required immunization documentation is incomplete and the student is not currently covered by the temporary conditional process.
Conditional
The student is catching up, has received the doses currently eligible to be administered and remains within the allowed conditional timeline.
Older MyIR CIS:
Washington says the older-layout CIS printed through MyIR can still be accepted as medically verified. Unlike a validated CIS, however, school staff may need to review whether displayed dose dates meet applicable minimum ages and intervals.
After the student receives another dose
A brand-new CIS is not always required.
Washington school guidance says staff may add new vaccination dates to the existing CIS and update the status by hand, or print a new CIS from the IIS.
A school using the IIS School Module may not always need a paper CIS
If school staff actively use Washington’s IIS School Module and verify that the student’s immunizations are complete in WAIIS, Washington guidance says a separate CIS does not need to be kept for that complete student. A CIS remains important for conditional-status situations or when information must be added to complete the record.
Catch-up school timeline
How Washington conditional attendance works
Give all currently eligible required doses first
A child cannot use conditional status simply to delay vaccines that are already due and eligible to be given.
Provide the required documentation
Give the school or child-care program the CIS and supporting record information required for the student’s situation.
Parent or guardian signs the conditional-status box
This acknowledges the temporary catch-up rules and deadlines.
Wait until the next vaccine becomes validly due
Vaccine series can require minimum intervals between doses.
Use the 30-day documentation window
Washington gives the family 30 calendar days from the next vaccine due date to provide updated documentation.
Continue until the series is complete
Conditional status can continue through subsequent properly timed doses.
Exclusion risk:
If the required documentation is not provided within the conditional period, the student can lose conditional status and be excluded from further attendance.
School deadline script
“Please tell me the student’s current CIS status, the exact vaccine or document still required, the next valid vaccine due date and the final date by which updated documentation must be received.”
Important special situations
Washington school record rules are different in some cases
Special school and child-care record situations
Situation
Important record rule
Practical next step
Homeless student
Washington guidance provides an exception that allows enrollment and attendance while records are brought into compliance.
Ask the school for the McKinney-Vento liaison and record-recovery assistance.
Student in foster care
Foster-care students must be allowed to enroll and participate while immunization compliance is addressed.
Coordinate with the foster-care caseworker and school.
Active-duty military family
Washington school guidance provides specific enrollment/catch-up timing for children of active-duty military parents or guardians.
Tell the school that the student is covered by military-family rules and ask for the exact documentation deadline.
Child care
Children attending child care must provide updated medically verified CIS documentation annually under current Washington guidance.
Ask the child-care program when the next updated CIS is due.
Provider can send CIS directly
Washington guidance allows an appropriate healthcare provider to send medically verified CIS information directly to school or child care with parent/guardian agreement.
Ask both offices whether direct transmission is the fastest option.
Do not confuse these forms
CIS and Certificate of Exemption are different documents
CIS
The Certificate of Immunization Status documents vaccinations or qualifying evidence used for school and child-care immunization compliance.
COE
The Certificate of Exemption is the separate Washington form used when a family is requesting an exemption allowed under state rules.
Exemption rules are not simple record-retrieval rules.
Washington recognizes specified exemption categories, and the requirements differ by category. Personal/philosophical exemptions do not apply to measles, mumps and rubella. Use the current Washington DOH instructions instead of assuming a missing record creates an exemption.
Why an adult Washington vaccine history may be incomplete
WAIIS is a lifetime registry for people of all ages, but an adult record can still be incomplete when older vaccinations were never entered, were administered outside Washington or remain only with a provider, pharmacy, school, employer, military system or another jurisdiction.
College or training program
Ask the student-health office exactly which proof format it accepts before ordering testing or requesting multiple duplicate forms.
Healthcare employment
Occupational health may require specific vaccination dates, provider documentation or laboratory evidence rather than a generic screenshot.
Personal lifetime archive
Save MyIR/WAIIS information together with pharmacy, provider, military and other-state records.
Older records from another state or country:
Washington DOH advises adults with outside immunization records to ask a Washington healthcare provider whether those verified records can be entered into WAIIS.
Pharmacy vaccines
Recover recent vaccines from the pharmacy before assuming they are lost
Use the account used to schedule the appointment
Check whether the vaccine was booked through your own account or a family account.
Try previous phone numbers and emails
Pharmacy profiles may retain older contact information.
Look for Immunizations or Health Records
A retail purchase receipt is not the same as a complete clinical vaccination history.
Contact the exact administering location
Ask for the vaccine name, date and complete vaccination history available to the pharmacy.
Ask whether the dose was reported to WAIIS
The pharmacy can investigate a missing submission or patient-match problem.
WA Verify distinction
Use WA Verify only when you need Washington COVID-19 digital proof
WA Verify
Provides a Washington Digital COVID-19 Verification Record and QR-code route when a matching state record is available.
MyIR
Better starting point for broader immunization history, family records and Washington school CIS documents.
Recently received a COVID-19 dose?
WA Verify advises allowing time for a new vaccination to reach the registry before requesting the digital record.
Federal vaccination records:
Vaccines administered through some federal systems, including military, VA or Indian Health Service routes, may require assistance from the administering federal agency.
No single nationwide individual immunization registry automatically combines every record.
A complete history can require state registries, healthcare providers, pharmacies, schools, employers, military systems and foreign documentation.

Frequently asked questions
Washington immunization records FAQs
How do I get my Washington immunization records online?
Start with MyIR Mobile. Registration information is matched against Washington’s immunization registry. When an exact record match is found, MyIR uses a verification-code process to link the record to the account.
How many phone numbers can I try in MyIR?
MyIR currently allows up to four phone numbers that may be associated with the immunization record. The matching process can search all four, but only one number needs to match the registry.
Can MyIR send my verification code to a different phone?
The verification code is sent to the phone number that matches the immunization registry. MyIR does not simply redirect that security code to an unrelated number. Contact the provider or Washington record-support route if the registry phone number is outdated.
Can I access my child’s Washington immunization record?
MyIR allows eligible family access and says children under age 18 can be added to a family account. Adults age 18 or older generally need their own account.
Why can’t MyIR find my record?
Possible causes include an old phone number or address, former surname, incorrect birth date, duplicate patient profile, a provider reporting problem or vaccination outside Washington.
What should I do if a new vaccine does not appear in MyIR?
Sign in and use MyIR’s Check for Updates feature. If the vaccination still does not appear after the provider has had time to report it, contact the administering provider or pharmacy and ask it to verify the WAIIS submission.
How long does a Washington DOH record request take?
The current authorization says requests are usually sent within three to five business days and no later than 15 business days after receipt of the signed authorization. Washington’s consumer page currently describes a five-business-day response.
Does Washington accept electronic signatures on the release form?
The current Authorization to Release Immunization Records says an electronic signature is not acceptable. The patient, parent or legal guardian must provide the required handwritten signature.
Can MyIR print a Washington CIS for school?
Yes. Washington recognizes a CIS printed through MyIR as medically verified because the information comes from WAIIS. School staff may still need to review whether vaccine dates meet applicable minimum ages and intervals.
Will vaccines from Oregon, Idaho or another state automatically appear in MyIR?
Not necessarily. Retrieve official records from the provider or registry where the vaccination occurred, then ask a Washington healthcare provider whether verified outside records can be reviewed and entered into WAIIS.
