Already in place since July 21 to access places of leisure and culture, the health pass is mandatory from Monday, August 9 to access bars, restaurants, retirement homes and long-distance transport. This health pass consists of providing proof that you have a complete vaccination schedule (vaccination certificate) or that you are not contaminated by Covid-19 (PCR or antigen test negative).
The vaccination certificate is only valid after a complete vaccination schedule, i.e. one week after having been vaccinated (two weeks to travel) with double injection vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca), four weeks after injection for single injection vaccines (Janssen / Johnson & Johnson), and one week after receiving a dose of vaccine for people who have already contracted Covid-19. In principle, provided automatically by the vaccination centers after receiving your injection, it can also be very easily retrieved online on the dedicated portal set up by the health insurance. You can also contact any health professional authorized to find your certificate and print it for you at your request.
As for the negative PCR or antigen test, it must have less than 48 hours to access cultural or leisure places, and less than 72 hours for border controls. The certificate resulting from these tests can be retrieved from the portal of the National Covid-19 Screening Information System to be printed.
Whether it is to retrieve your vaccination certificate, or to obtain your PCR test result, you will need to connect from a computer, tablet or smartphone to dedicated online services using FranceConnect which allows French people to identify themselves using the login details they already use on other online public services.
You can then retrieve a PDF copy of your health pass and its QR Code which you can then print or store on your various devices. Then, if you wish, just scan this QR Code using the TousAntiCovid application to find it in electronic form in your notebook.
