COWIN App OTP Upgrade: Register Yourself For Vaccination Using 4-Digit Code - Check Stepwise Guide

In a bid to make the vaccine registration process easier and more secure, the CoWIN website has now added a new four-digit security code feature.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government launched the third phase of the Covid-19 mega vaccination drive from May 1. In tune with the same, the people who are 18 years of age and above can register themselves for the vaccine on the COWin platform cowin.gov.in, the Aarogya Setu app and Umang App.

However, there were some reports of initial glitches earlier with the CoWIN app not accepting registrations from those below 45 years of age with many complaining about the app not accepting registrations from those below 45 years of age as they said that no OTP was received on their cell phones when they attempt to register for the vaccination.

Things gradually became smoother later after the initial rush and the app got updated.

In a bid to make the vaccine registration process easier and more secure, the CoWIN website has now added a new four-digit security code feature, which the experts say will not only reduce mistakenly generated vaccination certificates but will also prevent scammers from misguiding the people.

Once you register on the CoWIN website and pick a slot for vaccination, you will get a four-digit security code, which you need to produce for verification at the inoculation centre to get the jab on the vaccination day.

Below is the process to register on CoWIN portal and use the four-digit security code: 

Step 1: Visit CoWIN official website cowin.gov.in

Step 2: Click on the register button; fill up your contact details and register your mobile number

Step 3: You will receive an OTP on your mobile through SMS. Enter the OTP to get into CoWIN portal. Just sign in if you have already registered

Step 4: Enter your location, district and state. You can even enter the PIN code of the vaccination centre in your area.

Step 5: You will be able to see all nearby vaccination centres and slots. Click on the green slot of preference, select a time slot and confirm the booking

Step 6: You will then receive a four-digit security code as a text message on your registered mobile number. The four-digit code will be required to authenticate your booking on the vaccination day

Step 7: You can log in to CoWIN portal after getting vaccinated to download your vaccine certificate
