They had said it was pending approval by the Google and Apple stores, so I guess it was just approved by Apple first and the Android one will be available soon.

Thanks Galexinda. Downloaded app and eventually found code, which only appears on phone not email copy of certificate!

For those looking for TAN code, when you log into euddc site, find your certificate and TAN code will be next to QR code.

Found one easyway is to install the app from App store. Go to educc.gov.cy website and simply download a fresh QR code. Then using the covid pass app scan directly into your phone. You will need to note the TAN number (underneath the barcode) to be entered manually.

Tip. Check your name is spelled correctly.

Just noticed that on one of ours there is a letter missing. Not wanting to risk there to a scene at an airport in the future if name on the certificate doesn’t quite match the passport I called the helpline on 1474, answered almost immediately, they took the details and suggested we leave it a few days before redoing the download.

My first certificate did not have the TAN code on it so I downloaded and printed off a new EDUCC certificate, scanned the bar code and then manually entered the TAN code onto the app as requested. When I checked back, the two codes are different.

Anyone else had this ?

From posts I have seen on FB the TAN changes each time you access the EUDCC Portal - many people were initially having problems uploading to the App on their Apple mobile phone because they used the details from the EUDCC certificate they had printed off a few days ago.

I think this may be the system because there is an option to download negative RAT or PCR tests from the EUDCC Portal for those who have not received the vaccination and thus the TAN would have to change each time such a test is taken in order to comply with the SafePass rules of being valid for up to 72 hours.

Just entered my details onto the system - nothing has changed since the last time - and yes, there is a new TAN.

Yesterday I used the CovPass perfectly well, today all of the information had disappeared off of it. My OH checked hers and that had too!

Seems a pointless thing to have if it doesn’t work when you need it!

There was an update to the Apple version of the app yesterday which I installed, afterwards I noticed that the certificate was missing. It may be that the update was a) to to fix a problem, or b) in fixing a problem it erases existing copies. Not sure which one it was as I hadn’t looked at the app since last week. If people have their phone set to auto download updates worth checking if it was b), especially if you’re just about to travel to somewhere in the EU. I’ll add my certificate again in due course and keep an eye on it.

Went through the process again, printed off the new certificate and scanned the code…..TAN not recognised!

Result = app deleted!

Scan the QR code from the screen/monitor, not from a printed form and then enter the TAN, use the Covpass.cy app to do it.

What is SHNS and MEU please?

At a guess.

SHNS = Scotland National Health Service.


MEU1 Is a Certificate of Registration only and is compulsary.


MEU3 is a Certificate of Permanent Residence and is not.

We have been using a printed copy of the Cyprus flight pass plus a copy of the NHS vaccination certificate. Most places look at the vaccination cert and usually need talking through the dates of the two vaccinations. Not yet been asked to provide ID docs (passport or driving licence) to support the name on the certificate.

So presumably it will be ok to carry around our printed NHS vaccinations certificates, hubby doesn't carry a phone? As you say need them for flight pass anyway. Will reprint them nearer the time as ones printed for recent trip to Greece QR code will have expired. Obviously haven't got an MEU.
Thanks
