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

Start by downloading the exceptional travel certificate on your smartphone. The PDF document can then be opened in an application for you to complete and sign.
- Download the exceptional travel certificate
2. Download Adobe Fill and Sign
From your iPhone or Android smartphone, download the Adobe Fill & Sign application. This free application allows you to save your personal information and your handwritten signature to automatically fill them in documents in PDF format from your smartphone.

3. Fill in your profile
Open Adobe Fill & Sign on your smartphone and go to your personal file by pressing the small icon appearing in a silhouette at the bottom of the interface.
Fill in your personal information in the different fields offered by the application and validate by pressing the Close button.

4. Complete the exceptional travel certificate
Back on the home page, press Select a form to fill out and choose the source of your document. In our case, we choose File Explorer since the previously downloaded document should be in the download directory of the device.

Once the document is imported, zoom in on the first area to fill in and tap with your finger to open an input field. If it is possible to fill it out manually, you can also tap the silhouette icon to access the pre-recorded information and select the correct one.
If the text is not aligned correctly, press and hold your finger to move it and reposition it correctly. Repeat as many times as necessary to add all the requested information.

Do not forget to tick the reason for your trip by using the letter X or even the “tick” emoji offered by the keyboard of your smartphone.

5. Sign the document
Adobe’s application is extremely practical because, in addition to making it easier to enter information in forms, it also allows you to add your handwritten signature from your smartphone.
To do this, tap the pen icon at the bottom of the toolbar, and choose Create Signature.

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.
