Sorry if this has been discussed before. Does anybody know, if you can you download the Tous Anti Covid app while in the UK, and put your vaccine record QR code downloaded on to it. But use it in France to enter places with data roaming turned off. Can the code still be read? This question comes from a complete technophobe.
Thank you
James (marpool)

I’m interested to see any informed replies to this thread as I’m hoping to go to France next month and am getting bogged down with reading all the ‘musts and don’t needs’ 🤔🤔

I have downloaded the app and it has the functionality to upload vaccination certificates. If you take a screenshot of the QR code then it will be in “your photos“ so it will be on your phone and you can access it without using data.

Hi Kenny. All well here thank you. If all stays the same and we can wade our way through all the red tape we are off to France for a month on the 5th of Sept. Looking forward to using the van again rather than just having it sat there doing nothing. Hope all is well with you and Tracy and good to see the new van is working out for you.

This is current information on the French Consulate website in London:

People vaccinated in the UK can now import their NHS QR code into the TousAntiCovid app. You can also present a digital or paper NHS certificate showing your full vaccine status.

The problem with your NHS paper copy is that it may not be recognised or understood by a Frenchman/woman who may then stop you entering the bar/ restaurant/ bus/ train. It's very easy to download the French app whilst at home and just scan the QR codes off your NHS paper certificates

Have all the restaurants/cafes etc. got QR readers?

I believe that they just need to look at the app to confirm your vaccination status. I don't think a reader is required although all smartphones can read QR codes. Reading posts from Funsters in France its 50/50 whether they look or not

I have just looked at our Samsung S7 and cannot find an App that will do that.

You can down load of QR reading apps for all smartphones. But these days on smartphones you just operate your camera, shove it near the QR code and it does what the QR code has told it to do.

For instance the other week into a pub, as you walk in QR code, camera near QR code. Your phone then shows you their menu, which you can order from, and enter your info.

Yes as above, open camera, point at QR code, it should read it and show a little pop up button or link to the website or information in the QR code. Press button or link and info opens in new window

They use an app called TousAntiCovid Verif to scan your QR code. You can download the app yourself if you want to check that your code works.
