The use of the exceptional travel certificate from your smartphone is obviously no longer authorized. It is imperative to print it or reproduce it on free paper. In a tweet published by our colleagues from Numerama, the government explains that it is studying the implementation of an official application. Information further confirmed by RTL.
Important info: the government is back pedaling on the use of the smartphone for the attestation, despite the various official mentions yesterday, including a communication to Numerama. He told us, in an email, “to study the possibility of a mobile / digital device”.

Since 12 p.m. today, March 17, 2020, the French must remain confined to their homes to try to contain the spread of Covid-19.
If travel is for the most part prohibited, the Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner, specified that it would be possible to go out to go to work when teleworking was not possible, to take out his pets, to go to a medical appointment or make essential purchases.
To do this, you must download the exceptional travel certificate made available by the government to present it to the police in order to justify your travel in the event of a check.
If it is possible to reproduce this famous certificate on plain paper if you do not have a printer at hand, the gendarmerie confirmed on Twitter that it was possible to present a dematerialized version of said certificate, on the screen of his smartphone.
The form can be completed using Acrobat Reader software in Pdf format

Rotate your smartphone to hold it in landscape mode and, using your fingertip, draw your signature making sure it is aligned correctly. Then tap Done to save it.
The signature should appear in blue in a frame. Move it to the place where the signature is to be affixed and, if necessary, enlarge or reduce its size by acting on the double arrow next to your signature.
Tap Done to save the document to Adobe Fill & Sign.
To present the derogatory travel certificate, you can open it and display it directly in the Adobe application, or export it to store it in a specific directory on your smartphone.
