Starting 15 august, this process is open to foreign non-EU tourists, already in France or arriving until 18th august 2021. Demands relating to arrival after this date will be handled later.

Reminder: a temporary QR Code can be generated by an healthcare professionnal after a negative PCR test or antigenic test (see below).

If you've been vacinated in the EU, andore, Island, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway or UK (England and Wales), Suiss, your country gives you a EU numerical certificate of that will be accepted in France.
Otherwise, you may ask for a "pass sanitaire" if you fullfill one of the conditions listed on that page:

• you do not originate from a country of the EU.
• you are 18 or older. Until september 30th, the "pass sanitaire" is not required for young people aged 12 to 17. Nothing is required for child less than 12 years old.
• You are vacinated by a vacine endorsed by the European Medicines Agency or equivalent (link in the original page). Tha means more than 4 weeks have elasped for single-dose vacine such as Johnson&Johnson or more than 7 days after the second dose for other (Pfitzer, Moderna, AstraZeneca) or more than 7 days after the single shot you got if you had recovered from Covid19.
• You already are in France or in the EU or you plan to come within a few days.

To ask for the pass, you have to fill a form. You need to provide, name, firstname, adress, country where you got the shot, date of arrival in France, date of departure, email, phone number (including regional index). The date must be added to the form and it must be signed. Along with the form, you must send a copy of your valid passport, a copy of the certificate of vacination, that must clearly state which vacine has been used, and a copy of your transportation ticket. These pieces of information and the form must be sent using pdf, jpg or png. Do not use zip: it wil not be handled. It must be sent to the following address, depending on where you live:

• If you come from the United States: [email protected]
• If you come from Canada: [email protected]
• If you come from elsewhere: [email protected]

The title of your mail must be formated that way :

COUNTRY / NAME Firstname / Date of arrival DD-MM-21

For instance:

Incomplete demands will not be handled. You must restart and resend everything. Don't forget to send the form! You mail must not be bigger than 10MB. Once your demand is handled, you will receive an email containing a QR Code. It could be printed and presented on paper, or added to the TousAntiCovid application, to justify that you got the shot.
