您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)是您已接种COVID-19疫苗的数字证明。它还可以证明您收到了阴性测试结果(test result)或最近从COVID-19中恢复。所有欧盟国家都为您提供PDF 文件(PDF file)等证书，您可以打印并随身携带，或以数字形式保存在 iPhone 上。不幸的是，每个国家/地区都有自己的方式来交付和管理COVID证书。有些人，比如西班牙(Spain)，已经接受了 Apple 的方法，并实施了一种将您的疫苗接种证书(vaccination certificate)添加到您 iPhone 的Wallet and Health的方法(Health )应用。其他人，比如我住的罗马尼亚(Romania)，没有。但是，无论您住在哪里以及您所在的国家/地区提供什么，如果您拥有 iPhone，您可能希望在其上存储您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)。以下是在 iPhone 上保存和快速访问COVID 通行证的两种方法：(COVID pass)
1. 如何在 iPhone、本地或 iCloud中保存和访问您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)
在我看来，存储和快速访问您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)的最安全方法是将其作为PDF 文件(PDF file)保存在您的 iPhone、本地或 iCloud存储空间(storage space)中，而无需将任何信息交给第三方。如果你有同样的感觉，那么你需要做的是：
根据您在欧盟(European Union)的居住地，您必须首先在 iPhone 上使用浏览器（如Safari）访问政府的COVID证书网站。然后，按照所需的步骤获取您的疫苗接种证书(vaccination certificate)。这可能意味着创建一个帐户并提供一些关于您自己的个人信息，例如您的国民身份证(ID card)号码。进入可以查看欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)的步骤后，点击屏幕底部的共享(Share)按钮。
Safari 中的共享按钮
然后，在 iPhone 显示的共享选项列表中，点击保存到文件(Save to Files)。
选择在 iPhone 上保存到文件(Files)
选择您要存储欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)的位置：iCloud Drive或在我的 iPhone(On My iPhone)上。
注意：(NOTE: )为确保您始终可以访问您的证书，我们建议您将其本地保存在您的 iPhone 上。
选择保存欧盟数字COVID证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)的存储空间(storage space)
一旦您决定了您希望在哪里获得欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)，请浏览您选择的存储空间(chosen storage space)（iCloud 或您的 iPhone）中的文件夹/位置列表，然后选择保存它的文件夹。然后，点击屏幕右上角的保存按钮。(Save)
指定存储欧盟数字 COVID 证书的文件夹(EU Digital COVID Certificate)
现在您的 iPhone 上已拥有欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)，您将想知道如何在需要时打开它。幸运的是，这非常简单：在 iPhone 的主屏幕上(home screen)，找到“文件”(Files)应用并点击打开它。
在 iPhone 上打开文件
您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)现在应显示在文件中的(Files)最近(Recents)列表的顶部。
(Locate)在 iPhone 上找到并打开欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)
但是，一段时间后，如果您在 iPhone 上下载其他文件，您可能需要滚动浏览“最近(Recents)”列表或浏览文件(Files)应用程序中的文件夹才能访问欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)。
2. 如何使用 getcovidpass.eu在 iPhone钱包中保存和访问您的(Wallet)欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)
将欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)存储在 iPhone 上的另一种更方便的方法是将其保存在Wallet应用程序中。不幸的是，在欧盟(European Union)的大多数州，您不能直接使用 Apple 的服务来做到这一点，因为 iPhone 不会自动识别证书上的二维码。但是，有第三方提供商可以帮助解决这个问题，我们发现最好的是一个名为getcovidpass.eu的网站。以下是如何使用它将您的疫苗接种证书(vaccination certificate)添加到您的 iPhone钱包(Wallet)：
在 iPhone 上打开Safari或任何其他网络浏览器(web browser)，然后访问此网站：getcovidpass.eu。加载后，点击“创建您(Create Yours)的”按钮，开始根据您从您所在国家/地区的卫生部(Health Ministry)获得的官方证书创建新的数字证书。
使用 Safari 访问 getcovidpass.eu
该服务由一家名为YOUR PASS的公司提供，因此接下来您必须同意它才能处理您的个人数据。阅读隐私政策(privacy policy)，如果您接受条款，请选择“我接受”(“I accept”)复选框，然后点击继续(Continue)。
接受隐私政策和条款
接下来，该网站为您提供了两个选项，可用于创建与Wallet应用程序兼容的数字(Wallet)COVID 证书(COVID certificate) 通行证(pass compatible)。您可以选择：
- 扫描 QR(Scan QR) - 如果您有纸质证书(paper certificate)证明您接种了COVID 疫苗(COVID shot)，请点击此按钮。它将在您的 iPhone 上加载相机(Camera)应用程序，以便您扫描纸质证书(paper certificate)上的二维码(QR code)。
- Upload PDF/JPG/PNG - 如果您在 iPhone上将 COVID 证书(COVID certificate)保存为PDF 文档(PDF document)文件或JPG 或 PNG 图像文件(JPG or PNG image file)，请点击此按钮。
由于罗马尼亚(Romania)在一个特殊的在线平台上以PDF文件的形式发布COVID疫苗接种(COVID vaccination)证书，这就是我所拥有的，所以我选择了Upload PDF/JPG/PNG。
选择如何上传您的COVID 通行证(COVID pass)
如果您选择Upload PDF/JPG/PNG，该网站会要求您选择您喜欢的方式。您可以从照片库(Photo Library)、拍照（与(Take Photo )扫描二维(Scan QR)码基本相同）或选择文件(Choose File)上传您的COVID 证书(COVID certificate)。由于我的COVID 证书(COVID certificate)是PDF 文件(PDF file)，我选择了最后一个选项Choose File。
选择您喜欢的上传方式
浏览(Navigate)iPhone 上的文件夹和文件，找到并选择要上传的COVID 证书文件。(COVID certificate)
在 iPhone 上查找COVID 通行证(COVID pass)文件
文件一上传，getcovidpass.eu网站就会读取其中的二维码(QR code)，并几乎立即为已识别信息创建一个新的数字通行证。如果一切顺利，您现在应该会在屏幕上看到您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书。(EU Digital COVID Certificate)如果需要，请检查详细信息，然后点击屏幕右上角的添加按钮。(Add)
将您的疫苗接种证书(Vaccination Certificate)添加到 iPhone钱包应用程序(Wallet app)
一旦你这样做了，你的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)就会添加到你 iPhone 的钱包(Wallet)中。要查看它并在需要时轻松将其展示给任何当局，请打开电子钱包(Wallet)应用程序。
打开电子钱包应用
在您的 iPhone钱包(Wallet)中，您现在应该可以找到您的欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)，以便快速访问。这是它的样子：
疫苗接种证书(Vaccination Certificate)在您的钱包中
要获取您的COVID 证书(COVID certificate)的所有详细信息，您只需在钱包(Wallet)中点击它即可。
iPhone钱包(Wallet)中的 COVID 通行证是什么样的
而已！让您的COVID 通行证(COVID pass)随时可用的更实用的方法，对吗？
您知道将欧盟数字 COVID 证书(EU Digital COVID Certificate)添加到 iPhone 的其他方法吗？
不幸的是，我们没有找到更简单的方法将疫苗接种证书(vaccination certificate)添加到 iPhone。我们希望直接在主屏幕上显示快捷方式或(home screen)COVID 疫苗接种(COVID vaccination) PDF 文件(PDF file)，但在 iOS 中似乎无法实现。尽管第三方提供商可以帮助我们将COVID证书添加到官方Apple Wallet中，但我们仍然希望Apple与欧盟及其成员国合作，让我们使用官方方法来做到这一点。在那之前，如果您知道比本指南中说明的方法更好的方法，请随时告诉我们，我们承诺会尽快更新本文。
How to save your EU Digital COVID Certificate on an iPhone
Your EU Dіgital COVID Certificate is уour digital proof that you’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19. It сan also prove that you’ve either rеceived a negatiνe test result or recently recovered from COVID-19. All EU states provide you with such a certificate as a PDF file that уou can prіnt and carry around with you, or keep in digіtal form on your iPhone. Unfortunately, each country has its own way of deliνering and managing COVID certificates. Some, like Spain, have embraced Apple’s approаch and implemented а way to add your vacсination certificate to your iPhone’s Wallet and Health apps. Others, like Romania, where I live, didn’t. However, regardless of where you live and what your country offers, if you own an iPhone, you will probably want to store your EU Digital COVID Certificate on it. Here are two ways to save and quickly access your COVID pass on an iPhone:
1. How to save and access your EU Digital COVID Certificate on your iPhone, locally or in iCloud
In my opinion, the safest way to store and get quick access to your EU Digital COVID Certificate is to keep it as a PDF file on your iPhone, locally, or in your iCloud storage space, without handing any information to third parties. If you feel the same way, here’s what you need to do:
Depending on where you live in the European Union, you must first use a browser, like Safari, on your iPhone to visit your government’s COVID certificates website. Then, follow the steps required to get your vaccination certificate. That probably means creating an account and providing some personal information about yourself, such as your national ID card number. Once you get to the step where you can see your EU Digital COVID Certificate, tap the Share button from the bottom of the screen.
The Share button in Safari
Then, in the list of sharing options displayed by your iPhone, tap Save to Files.
Choosing to Save to Files on an iPhone
Select the location where you want to store your EU Digital COVID Certificate: iCloud Drive or On My iPhone.
NOTE: To ensure that you always have access to your certificate, we recommend you save it locally on your iPhone.
Select the storage space where the EU Digital COVID Certificate is saved
Once you’ve decided where you prefer having your EU Digital COVID Certificate, navigate through the list of folders/locations in your chosen storage space - iCloud or your iPhone - and choose the folder where to save it. Then, tap the Save button at the top-right corner of the screen.
Specify the folder where the EU Digital COVID Certificate is stored
Now that you have your EU Digital COVID Certificate on your iPhone, you’ll want to know how to open it when you need it. Fortunately, that’s very simple: on your iPhone’s home screen, find the Files app and tap to open it.
Open Files on an iPhone
Your EU Digital COVID Certificate should now be shown at the top of the Recents list in Files.
Locate and open the EU Digital COVID Certificate on an iPhone
However, after a while, if you download other files on your iPhone, you might need to scroll through the Recents list or navigate through your folders in the Files app to get to the EU Digital COVID Certificate.
2. How to save and access your EU Digital COVID Certificate in your iPhone Wallet using getcovidpass.eu
An alternative and more convenient method to store your EU Digital COVID Certificate on an iPhone is to save it in the Wallet app. Unfortunately, in most states of the European Union, you can’t do that using Apple’s services directly, as the QR codes on the certificates aren’t automatically recognized by iPhones. However, there are third-party providers that help in overcoming this issue, and the best we’ve found is a website called getcovidpass.eu. Here’s how to use it to add your vaccination certificate to your iPhone Wallet:
Open Safari or any other web browser on your iPhone and go to this website: getcovidpass.eu. Once it’s loaded, tap the Create Yours button to start creating a new digital certificate based on the official one you got from the Health Ministry in your country.
Use Safari to go to getcovidpass.eu
This service is provided by a company called YOUR PASS, so next you’ll have to agree for it to be able to process your personal data. Read the privacy policy and, if you accept the terms, select the “I accept” checkbox and then tap on Continue.
Accept the privacy policy and terms
Next, the website gives you two options that you can use to create a digital COVID certificate pass compatible with the Wallet app. You can choose to:
- Scan QR - Tap this button if you have a paper certificate proving that you had the COVID shot(s). It will load the Camera app on your iPhone to allow you to scan the QR code on your paper certificate.
- Upload PDF/JPG/PNG - Tap this button if you have a COVID certificate saved on your iPhone as a PDF document file, or as a JPG or PNG image file.
Since Romania issues COVID vaccination certificates on a special online platform as PDF files, that’s what I have, so I chose to Upload PDF/JPG/PNG.
Choose how to upload your COVID pass
If you choose to Upload PDF/JPG/PNG, the website asks you to select how you prefer to do that. You can upload your COVID certificate from your Photo Library, Take Photo (which is essentially the same as Scan QR), or Choose File. As my COVID certificate is a PDF file, I chose the last option Choose File.
Select the upload method you prefer
Navigate through the folders and files on your iPhone to locate and select the COVID certificate file that you want to upload.
Find the COVID pass file on your iPhone
As soon as the file is uploaded, the getcovidpass.eu website reads the QR code in it and almost instantly creates a new digital pass of the information identified. If all went well, you should now see your EU Digital COVID Certificate on the screen. Check the details if you want, and then tap the Add button from the top-right corner of the screen.
Add your Vaccination Certificate to the iPhone Wallet app
As soon as you do that, your EU Digital COVID Certificate is added to your iPhone’s Wallet. To see it and easily show it to any authorities if need be, open the Wallet app.
Open the Wallet app
Inside your iPhone Wallet, you should now find your EU Digital COVID Certificate listed for quick access. This is what it looks like:
The Vaccination Certificate is available in your Wallet
To get all the details of your COVID certificate, all you need to do is tap on it in the Wallet.
What a COVID pass looks like in the Wallet on an iPhone
That’s it! A much more practical way of having your COVID pass always at hand, right?
Do you know other ways to add your EU Digital COVID Certificate to an iPhone?
Unfortunately, we didn’t find an easier way to add a vaccination certificate to an iPhone. We wanted to have a shortcut or the COVID vaccination PDF file directly on the home screen, but it looks like that’s not possible in iOS. Although third-party providers are here to help us add our COVID certificates to the official Apple Wallet, we still hope that Apple will work with the EU and its member states to let us do that using official methods. Until then, if you know better ways than the ones illustrated in this guide, don’t hesitate to let us know, and we promise to update this article as soon as possible.
