Officially, Covid passports are valid throughout the EU from July 1. However, Poland decided to speed up the entire process. Starting today, every person who has received two doses of the vaccine can download an electronic passport confirming vaccination MObywatel application. The app can be downloaded traditionally from the App Store and Google Play. Each online document will have a photo of the owner. This is intended to speed up all formalities - especially during airport or border control. What more do we know about the passport?

Poland. Passports available in the app today!

From now on, Poles do not have to worry if they do not have a paper version of their Covid passport with them. It can be downloaded from the special MObywatel application.

“Importantly, the Polish version of the EU COVID Certificate (UCC) – the so-called Covid passport - has a photo of the bearer, taken from the register of ID cards. This will significantly simplify and speed up the verification of a vaccinated person, e.g. at the border. So far, only the national certificate was available in the application. The UCC was supposed to be delivered to mObywatela only on June 25. However, the government decided to make it available as soon as possible - we hear from employees of the Prime Minister's Office. (Money.pl).

In what situations will a covid passport be required?

The passport will be of practical use primarily when moving between countries. A special QR code included in the application provides full data on the traveler's "vaccination" status. For the border guard, this document is information that a specific citizen does not pose an epidemiological threat and can safely cross the border. At the same time... it is worth emphasizing that people who have a passport (either in a paper or online version) do not have to undergo quarantine - they are automatically exempt from it.

“We can be proud of this great achievement. The Europe we all know and whose return we all want is a Europe without barriers. The EU certificate will once again enable citizens to benefit from this most tangible and valuable EU right - the right to free movement - argues the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, quoted in the release. (Money.pl).
