How are these documents integrated?
After having taken a test, you can retrieve a paper document or a PDF in digital version from the laboratory with, in both cases, a QR Code. This barcode will allow the result of your test or your vaccination certificate to be integrated into the TousAntiCovid application. You can then download your document in the application or present the paper document with the QR code.
Since April 29, certificates produced during vaccination can be integrated into the application. For people vaccinated before April 29, you will have to wait until May and go to the Ameli.fr site, which will provide access to the certified vaccination certificate.
For those who do not have a PC or an internet connection, they can of course print a valid PDF document like the digital version.

Towards an obligation to get vaccinated?
Even if the anti-Covid vaccination is not compulsory, this health pass may well become essential for having “a normal life” and leisure activities. First and foremost, for traveling or participating in major sporting or cultural events involving the presence of a large crowd.
For the moment, the government ensures that this health pass will not be used to go, for example, to a restaurant or to shops… “We have to discuss it”, conceded Jean Castex. But "a mandatory health pass to fly, go to shows, to restaurants or to organize your wedding, is a lever of constraint that will tip the balance in which there is on the one hand this collective interest and , on the other, personal interest”, explains a sociologist.

What about data protection?
Brussels specified that it would be up to the Member States to decree the possible use of this certificate for activities other than travel and promised a "very high degree of protection", by providing in particular that the data cannot be kept by the countries of destination.
