Better news for Europe covid passports.
EU states should issue Covid passports before July 1st, commission urges
Mock-up of a digital
Oh, don’t you love it when they urge. I think we all enjoy a good urge. It’s about as tangible as a concept but sounds so much more urgent (sorry).the European Commission urged on Monday.
Every government in Europe has a right to set its own border controlsOh, don’t you love it when they urge. I think we all enjoy a good urge. It’s about as tangible as a concept but sounds so much more urgent (sorry).
USA has no national verification system for vaccines... so they will either haveto modify their system,or non european passengers or use paper.Ireland will start welcoming travellers from European Union countries, as well as those coming from the United States and the United Kingdom, from July 19, when the government vowed that it will launch the EU’s COVID-19 passport that aims to facilitate the movement for all vaccinated persons.
Stay tuned...That’s all we have and EU knows thatWill paper "Record Card" from the USA be accepted for verification of Covid-19 vaccinatioin?
VN,I also only have a paper record of my vaccinations, and a stamp in my old WHO yellow international vaccination certificate. Who knows if this will be worth anything? Maybe, maybe not. We all just need to cultivate a bit more patience while the EU and the rest of the world gets their covid acts together - right now the situation is still in flux.
Better news for Europe covid passports.
EU states should issue Covid passports before July 1st, commission urges
Mock-up of a digital health passport app. Under the EU system, fully vaccinated people holding EU Digital Covid Certificates, will be exempt from quarantines and travel curbs
EU member states, including the Republic, should start issuing Covid passports if possible before July 1st, the European Commission urged on Monday.
I think things are in such a state of flux that no one canreally answer your question right now....I will be leaving from Italy on the 16th June, does it mean that I need this EU passport? And if not I guess maybe when I come back. What do I need to do to get it? I would like to point out that I -like many other people- have many things to do and cannot spend all of the time researching the latest on the topic. Very annoying because I will go to the airport hoping that I will not have any problems.
If someone could shed some light I would be very grateful
No.I will be leaving from Italy on the 16th June, does it mean that I need this EU passport?
Nothing. You will never need to get it to travel from Spain to Italy or to travel between any two EU countries.And if not I guess maybe when I come back. What do I need to do to get it?
Oh, I understand now. You replied to an earlier post and you are saying that things are not in flux. I agree. I'm a bit amazed how far the systems for the EU digital certificates / passport have progressed. And we still have a full month until the official starting shot will be given on the 1st of July.No flux,
Excellent thanks for info.Oh, I understand now. You replied to an earlier post and you are saying that things are not in flux. I agree. I'm a bit amazed how far the systems for the EU digital certificates / passport have progressed. And we still have a full month until the official starting shot will be given on the 1st of July.
Where I live, I know already the name of the app that I will need (it has not yet been released in the App Store) and I know where to download my certificates, namely from my own digital file that is managed by the regional/national public health service. My vaccination data are there, just no active link yet for the download.
If you are traveling it is your responsibility to know and comply with current regulations. Just because we actually have lives and can't do that easily doesn't make the policies go away.I would like to point out that I -like many other people- have many things to do and cannot spend all of the time researching the latest on the topic.
Patience, people.If you were not vaccinated in EU+, then wait until further useful and useable details have been officially published
Are your vaccinations recorded in a national data bank?VN,
At the moment in France we only have a paper record also. I carry a paper copy in my wallet and a photo copy of the paper on my phone. ...More will evolve later.
100% agree. Pandemics are very annoying.Very annoying
Ummm. This is Myanmar in 2021. Who knows?Are your vaccinations recorded in a national data bank?

EU countries with advanced digitalised public health systems will be in a good position. Other countries, Germany for example where the public health system is very diverse and localised and still dominated by forms on paper, will have more problems to get this up and running on a large scale, beyond the first test phases.good to know certificates can be downloaded from our national e-health public health service.
Until recently I used the website only to get into the testresults ( from visits to doctors ) but I noticed the vaccins are also enlisted in my dosier. Even the ones I got at work ( like the one for hepatitis B ).

This is worth repeating because there have already been several questions where people want to know how to obtain an EU digital vaccination certificate:if you live in the EU, your first point of reference should be your own country's process (or the process of the country in which you received the vaccine).
If France has a data bank it should be able to transfer your data on request or better yet, you might eventually have access to it to be able to get a QR code for travel.Marbe2,
I believe that they are but as of today, 02/05/21, I only have the paper.
This is a very useful tool. The hope is that this confusing and ever changing patchwork of rules and bans will become redundant soon and will be replaced by a simpler system that says: You can come if you are either vaccinated, or PCR or Antigen tested, or recently recovered from illness. Show us your EU Covid-19 certificate.It is called Re-Open EU
Thanks for pointing out this app - it could be quite useful - and thanks for uploading it to the Resources.Here is a link to an app for Covid rules and stats across the EU. It is multilingual. It is called Re-Open EU.
Thank you, Clare, for maintaining the thread that lists sources with links to official information. I had a look at the Reopen Europe website and checked their current information for a trip from France to Spain by way of an example. I saw that they have already added sections about the EU Digital Covid certificate. The section is currently empty of course. This is what it looks like:I have updated and bumped the thread that lists various official sources, including the Re-open EU website.
Some EU+ countries use the yellow WHO booklets routinely for recording Covid-19 vaccinations (as far as I know, Germany and Switzerland) while other EU countries don't use them at all for this purpose.old yellow WHO vaccination certificates
I undertand, I will post this in june7th! Thanks!Maybe you or the moderators could move your post to the US related thread? So that this thread can be reserved for information for travellers from EU countries as travel restrictions and related information are quite different between the two groups? Thanks.
This thing is brand new for us, and of course we want to know how to get it and how it will work in real life, and it is rather confusing when the thread drifts in and out of discussions about situations in/for non-EU countries ...
May it continue!This tweet more progress..
Tweet,
I live in France. Irish. Heading to Spain on Sunday. Got a Covid test yesterday. No cost. Medical team also updated my Covid cert so that it is now scannable. Test centre working like clockwork. After a slow start, France powering ahead.
I don't understand. I'm also giggling a bit. Although some EU countries have started issuing certificates to some people who recently got their vaccination, and they've tested the EU gateway platform, it is far from clear that they've sorted out all the issues that they have within the EU. This is not yet running on a large scale nor is it running everywhere nor for everyone who is already vaccinated.Interesting. If you are a EU citizen living outside the EU, there may be issues with the reciprocity of different national systems.
I was looking for this, so good to know. Good that they recognise the diaspora/s outside the EU.there is a provision in the EU law that will enter into force on 1 July that says that EU citizens who got their vaccination outside the EU may obtain an EU standard certificate from their own country when they request it.
Four, I'd be interested to know the source of this news.
Usually we are not so enthusiastic about stuff initiated or coordinated at EU level. But I must admit, I am now cautiously optimistic that we will pull this off in time and it will work for us this summer.This is brilliant eu countries powering ahead.
Makes total sense, if this was at the airport in Belgium, right?:The control happens by their IT systems before departure
The poster may have misspoken; "successfully checked on the departure area on the way to Spain" is more likely, right?However, judging by the letters on the yellow vest, this photo was not taken in Spain
