If an iPhone please note that you can add the pass to your Apple wallet - this may be convenient for you for offline use. Is it IOMG's or Manx Care's intention to actually set up an online in-app facility? If not, what are the reasons for not doing it, GDPR, IT constraints or capability, other legal issues, what? Or are the GMP going to have to use workarounds forever? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words Manx Care and set up in a sentence. Coupled with IOMG and it’s World Class IT infrastructure and staff - the app will be riddled with bugs and be a moneypit, and overbudget. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSM Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Tried it today. Log on to the NHS website, get the pass/QR code. Takes 2 mins. Automatically refreshes each time you access it from the website, or you can download it as a pdf, which expires after 30 days, but you can get a new one anytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ah well. I've got my 119 printed pass. I've screen saved the one off the website, printed it and e-mailed myself a copy, plus saved it to wallet. I'll now scan and save the printed on official water marked paper one. Ive also booked my "private" IoM NHS PCR for the last appointment on the day before I travel. Belt and braces. Speaking to friends in France. You can't even go into McDonalds or service station without presenting it to be scanned. Just hope Spain, UK and Bulgaria don't change their traffic lights over the next 8 weeks. Ive got 12 weeks meds, just in case I need to quarantine and get stuck for a week or two.. Never has travelling seemed such a faff. Had my customary frustration with easyJet special assistance when I rang to give them the wheelchair details. I gave the wrong dimension first and was told it was too big. They have maximum dimensions that are, as an example, h 80 x w 80 x l 120, I gave mine as 90 x 60 x 50. The customer service agent had no spatial awareness. Couldn't see that h x w x l sort of depended on which way up or on which side you stand the thing. 20 months since I booked my last ticket. I'd forgotten. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will download and install TAC Verif when/if I get to France. Im assuming that you probably mean Tous Anti Covid Verif? Some users are reporting an issue in that they have to scan, and upload the English 2D bar code every time they open the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Quote Some users are reporting an issue in that they have to scan, and upload the English 2D bar code every time they open the app. Yep. I have been trying to link the TAC Verif app with the TousAntiCovid app (where the certificates are stored) to save carrying the paper bit around and scanning it each time. Failed..
