Eva888: Just curious. What’s to stop someone printing out a dozen copies of their printed QR code and giving/selling it to anti vax mates to use to get into bars etc.

Why would any establishment care if their customers are double jabbed and / or have vaccination certificate?

Because access to some non-essential services will be restricted to vaccinated people only.

And probably (we'll know when the legislation is tabled in the House today) because a business owner who is operating without checking vaccination status when the regulations require them to check everyone entering their business and exclude unvaccinated people, would be committing an offence.

I think they were talking about $1,000 fines for individuals.
So if someone has a dozen unvaccinated people in their bar / gym / cafe, it could cost them $1,000 each for being there and the owner another $12,000 for letting the unvaccinated in.
And if they felt grumpy, I'm sure the Police could close the business for 'disinfection' for a day or so, as well

Edit: grammar

Because some customers, like me, won't return if establishment's aren't taking these requirements seriously.

Himself and I printed out our QR pdf, and cut out the code.

His verifies fine, but mine takes a lot of jiggery pokery to get it to scan.

The only difference is that I printed mine gray-scale and his in colour.

Anyone else noticing oddities?

Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

Used the verifier on one iPhone to scan a pass on another iPhone - worked quickly and comes up with clear green tick plus the detail of full name and date of birth in clear easy to read format.

For those concerned about the size of the QR on their pass, this app scans it no problem, as you expect it would.

It doesn't like the International pass issued by our MOH and won't recognise it.

You have to wonder why there was a need for a domestic pass and an international pass.

Because IATA. The international airline and travel group required it. Slightly different to adhere to their format

That article is talking about a different pass from what I was talking about. Having said that they may be the same format. Even so why not just have one standard and be done with. Something like the IATA one as a universal standard makes more sense to me. Then there's no need to carry two passes.

That works way better on my 13 mini than the web-based example.

I'm still puzzled by the govt's lackadaisical attitude (Monday's press conference) towards businesses using the verifier or matching that result with an ID.

Much of a muchness. Internationally they don't really care who MoH NZ is. They need it to be in a format/common thing that is already accepted - (like your Actual Passport) that was established before our framework. The EU standard.

That's why it's different to the domestic one

Starting with HC1: instead of NZCP (NZ Covid Pass) which also looks up a domestic issues certificate they can invalidate for all if exploited.

The details included on your International Travel Vaccination Certificate must match your passport. You can review your personal details when you request the certificate. If you need to change your details to match your passport, instructions on how to do this will be available.

These certificates comply with EU Digital COVID Certificate standards. Some countries may have different requirements. Before travelling, please check the requirements of the country you are travelling to.

For some reason it did not come up when I searched for it on Google Play Store, even when searching explicitly for 'nz.govt.health.covidpassverifier' (just got the tracer app and CI equivalent in the results).

Had to go to the MoH website and follow the play store link from there.

The My Vaccine Pass version I had earlier printed at A5 size on a fairly bog standard office laser printer (16mm x 16mm QR code) scanned and returned confirmation in about a second.

Press release:

Businesses and events will be set for summer, with the free NZ Pass Verifier app to scan and verify My Vaccine Passes now available to download, Minister for COVID-19 Response Chris Hipkins said today.

“New Zealand will move into the traffic light system (COVID-19 Protection Framework) from Friday 3 December, and the release of the NZ Pass Verifier app is another step for businesses and organisations to prepare for this next phase in our COVID response,” Chris Hipkins said.

“The app helps give business certainty that they can quickly manage vaccine certificates and make sure they can easily check that their customers are all fully vaccinated.”

The NZ Verifier app can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play app stores today.

“The app is ideal for any organisation that needs to verify customers’ vaccination status. Hospitality venues, close-contact businesses, large gatherings, events, air transport and gyms are just some of the types of businesses that will need to verify customer’s vaccination status if they wish to operate in higher risk levels under the COVID-19 Protection Framework.

“For customers entering a business requiring proof of vaccination status, their My Vaccine Pass will be scanned by the verifier app. The verifier will show a green tick recognising the official QR code that is embedded into the customer’s pass.

“It will show quickly that the person is fully vaccinated or has the appropriate exemption and can enter their premises. Importantly, the verifier app does not store a person’s data or see any information other than a person’s name and date of birth.

“Technical guidance for NZ Pass Verifier is available on the Ministry of Health website and additional guidance for businesses using the verifier under the COVID Protection Framework will be out later this week. People will also be able to call 0800 800606 for assistance.

“Further work is being undertaken to accommodate events that expect large volumes of people at a time – such as stadiums, festivals, or large tourism operators.

“Earlier this month, the Ministry published technical specifications for My Vaccine Pass and its verification. Some companies will integrate the technology into existing digital journeys or pre-verification ticketing processes.

“Essential services such as supermarkets, access to health and disability services and primary and secondary education facilities cannot ask for proof of verification status and will not require a NZ Pass Verifier.

“As My Vaccine Pass and its verification become part of everyday habits, we’re also asking people to keep using the tools we already have in place to protect us from COVID-19. Mask up, keep your distance and use your COVID Tracer app,” Chris Hipkins said.

“Nearly 1.4 million My Vaccine Passes have been generated so far. For those who haven’t taken the step yet, we encourage you to do so.

“This week we’re also publicising sector guidance for businesses to successfully transition to the traffic light system.”

Trying to sort out a pass for a friend, they are double jabbed but do not have Drivers licence, passport or birth cert what would be the best way forward for them I am guessing ringing the 0800 number would be the best bet ???
