It is no longer necessary to print your self-certificate to take public transport in Ile-de-France during peak hours. The proof is now available in digital version.
Since Monday, May 11, in France, trips within a radius of 100 km are no longer necessarily accompanied by a derogatory exit certificate. Unless you take public transport in Ile-de-France during rush hour. Two new supporting documents have thus appeared: a generic certificate, known as a “self-certificate”, renewable for any trip linked to an overriding reason (bringing children to school, seeing a doctor, being summoned by a judicial or police authority). , etc.) [PDF] and a so-called “employer” certificate [PDF] which can cover the entire period of the state of health emergency, ie until July 10, 2020. To access metro, RER, bus and tram in Ile-de-France between 6.30 am and 9.30 am and 4 and 7 pm, you can must be equipped with one or the other. Otherwise, you will be liable to a fine of 135 euros.
Only the self-attestation is available digitally
Until now, these two RATP special certificates had only paper as their only medium. So they had to be copied or printed – which meant having a printer or going to the office to print it. From now on, in terms of self-attestation, a digital version generator is available. If you take public transport during peak hours, you will only have to tick one of the 7 reasons listed on the online form. A document with QR code will be created automatically and, once loaded on your smartphone, it will act as valid proof.

No digital employer certificate
One in two, then. No digital version of the employer certificate is available for the moment, that is to say the one to be completed by your human resources department. If you are an employee, this document justifies your travel for professional reasons during peak hours. You must therefore (again) print or copy it.
As a reminder, if you are self-employed or self-employed and you travel for professional reasons, only the paper or digital self-attestation must be completed. You must then tick reason 1.
