The EU Digital COVID Certificate is a new passport for travellers during a pandemic. It has become a standard requirement for travellers, making it easier to tour within the Europe. The certificate’s validity is for all EU citizens and specific travellers from third-world countries. It can be in paper or digitalized form. Both contain a signed QR code that is scanned upon entry. Each of the EU member states has agreed to use the same design for passports and certificates to ensure no duplicates. The certificate is in both the national language and English so that EU citizens can recognize it. Moreover, before acquiring the certificate, it is advisable to undergo a PCR test. If you are on a tight budget, a rapid antigen test is suitable for you. Both are essential before leaving and entering a country.

The EU Digital COVID Certificate contains only your essential information like name, date of birth, date of issuance, and relevant information regarding vaccines, tests, and recovery, as well as a unique identifier. Verification of who issued and signed the certificate is required to determine its authenticity and validity. All health data remains with the Member State that issued the EU Digital COVID Certificate. Any technical problems regarding your EU Digital COVID Certificate should be reported to the national authorities.
