In germany (and I'd assume standardized throughout europe) COVID vaccination digital certificate is just that: a digitally signed certificate (encoding your name+vaccination meta-info) passed around via QR code. While you can use an App to read and present it, just having a paper-copy of the QR code (plus some ID document proving that the name on the certificate matches your person) should be enough to prove your vaccination status.

There is nowhere to get a paper copy from in my country. At least not without going through insurmountable hoops. I tried.

You have to log-in to a government website, and you do it either through a mobile phone registered with the government, or with a smartcard and a proprietary Java application. Pick your poison. (And they don't want to issue new smartcards either.)
