Vaccination certificate

[Colino]

I plan on going to Portugal in a few weeks. I've had my both jabs. Luckily my other half sent off for our vaccination certificates. Because mine came back saying that I'd only had one jab and therefore they couldn't issue me with a certificate. So after phoning everyone and their dog I finally managed to get it put on the system. The reason I mention this is so you don't leave it to close to your holidays before you decide to apply or download it. Apparently it can take between 5 and 10 working days to update the system. You could just go online and check all is OK.
Colin.

My question has probably been answered to death somewhere, but can anyone tell me whether my paper version vaccine certificate has the QR code that France and others are asking for?

Thanks.

There is no QR code on my partners paper certificate. It does however have a unique reference like a barcode. But it isn't a QR code.

 

[Grianan]

Our languages teacher at school says … You can upload everything to the French site as JPEG, PNG, etc. It will be easier when the Scottish app is available. The paper certificate comes through very quickly.

I wonder how I can now have one to show, bearing in mind that I donot have a smart phone...

Do you need one (QR code) if you have the certificate?

 

[sciac2001]

Do you need one (QR code) if you have the certificate?

Tbh, I am so confused that I genuinely do not know.
My trip - through Spain, hopefully without touching France - is at the end of October and I am praying that things will become clearer for me.

Hope yours goes off ok.
Thanks.

You need the French version of the nhs app.
It’s compulsory to enter pretty much everywhere in France from last Monday
You can scan the code from your certificate or smart phone nhs app in to it

 

[gerry mcg]

The French version of the Vaccine digital certificate is " Tout AntiCovid Verif" IPhone app store link https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/tousanticovid-verif/id1562303493
The & NI covid vaccination QR codes work in it

It is different to the "Tout Anticovid" app

When I scan my 2nd vaccination QR it says "Valid" if I scan my first vaccination it says "invalid" Do you just scan your 2nd?

Scrub that.
There were multiple reports in national press saying Scottish vaccinated folk can’t meet the French requirements because the QR code system isn’t finished.

Do you scan the QR code from the paper copy using your mobile phone ? Also when you download pdf it only lasts 30 days then you have to login again and redownload. I think

 

[Offagain]

We are heading through the tunnel in the early hours of 28th so downloaded and printed 2 copies each of our vaccination documents yesterday, including the QR code. As far as I know that is the only “certificate” available, certainly from NHS Wales.
Yes they’re only valid for 30 days but we will print more before we come back in November.

 

[nicholsong]

It sounds as though it was quite simple here in Poland as our Dr. printed off our certificates including QR code just after we had the second jab.

Only checked at Greek border at Patras port and again at Krakow airport when flying back here. Both visual checks not scanned.

Yes. It’s the second jab/QR code that shows you’re fully vaccinated.

How does one scan their QR code. I thought the code would be on your mobile or ipad etc. What do you scan the code with and how does it say valid or invalid

I did this:

Download the TousAntiCovidVerif app on to the iPad from this link. Android presumably also available.

‎TAC Verif

‎TAC Verif - Gouvernement français Application de vérification de certificats sanitaires français et européen (EU-DCC : Digital Covid Certificate) IMPORTANT - L'usage de cette application est limité à certaines professions citées à l’article 3 du décret n° 2022-1097 du 30 juillet 2022. Pour...

apps.apple.com

Then I visited the NHS Covid passport site on my phone (or you could use the NHS app if you are registered with a GPin England). I used the website as I’m registered in Wales. Both do the same thing.

NHS COVID Pass - NHS

Covid Status

covid-status.service.nhsx.nhs.uk

You’ll need to register first and this includes going through an electronic ID check as you are creating an NHS login if you don’t already have one.

Once you are set up, login on the website and follow links to Travel Pass. It’ll show green if you are double vaxed. Click the green bar and it will show your QR code. Tap the arrow to move between your first and second jab QR codes.

Go back to the iPad and click to scan a QR code the Tous app. Scan the second QR code on your phone screen with the iPad and it should show Valid on the Tous app.

That’s all the Tous app does - confirm your NHS Covid pass is valid.

NB the NHS QR code regenerates every time you login. If you request a paper one by post, it lasts for 30 days.

Hope this helps.

 

[Offagain]

You can also print it off from the site. We’re heading through the tunnel on 28th and have printed off two copies each, laminated one so that is available to scan if requested, the other is a spare.
We‘ll probably be away until early November so we will do the same before our return trip.

My question has probably been answered to death somewhere, but can anyone tell me whether my paper version vaccine certificate has the QR code that France and others are asking for?

Yes it does. We tested the paper version, the NHS App, and the French TousAntiCovid App 3 days ago over here.

Exactly this but I use TousAntiCovid rather than the verif one.

 

[glenn2926]

We have the paper certificates. We asked for them because the app ones have expirey dates. The paper ones don’t.

 

[Roseandpeter]

The touscovidverif app only verifies that your qr code is valid. The toutantcovid app is the one that scans and keeps your qr code to show on your phone.
you do it the same way and its simple to do.

 

[Jim and Louise]

We are currently in Seville after getting a ferry from Plymouth to Santander on the 04/08 we stayed in Spain a few days then moved into Portugal, now back into Spain, not once have we been asked for anything covid related apart from when boarding in plymouth

 

[AlastairH]

The Scottish NHS Vaccination Certificste does NOT have a QR code. Just something else to make us ‘different’.

And if you have a middle name on your passport and not on your vaccination certificate that can also be a problem

Is that what happened to yourself

 

[Captain Birdseye]

Is that what happened to yourself

Potentially, at the moment. I'm sending a scan of my passport to my Doctor's surgery by email asking the to update my NHS details with my middle name. If they do that (which they may not) it can take up to 10 days to amend my vaccination certificate records so that I can download again.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-covid-pass says: "You should check that the name on your passport matches how it is displayed by NHS COVID Pass at least 2 weeks before you travel. If the names are different, contact your GP practice to have your details updated."

I had both jabs but only one had been put on the system. Because I'd had my missing jab at a vaccination centre my GP wouldn't update my records, so I had to phone the vaccination centre to update my records.
