Since March 24, the time must be entered on the new certificate of derogatory travel. - Ministry of the Interior

This will simplify the lives of millions of French people. A digital displacement certificate will be available from Monday, in addition to the paper device already in place to justify the exits despite the containment measures, announced Christophe Castaner Thursday. "The French have appropriated the rules of containment, it is therefore necessary to give them a little flexibility with this tool," commented the Minister of the Interior, in an interview with the Parisian devoted to the coronavirus crisis.

The service will be available online, on the website of the Ministry of the Interior and the government, the minister said. Concretely, the form will be downloadable in PDF format, from a smartphone, in order to present it to the police with a QR code.

No data collection

"There will be no file. No one will be able to collect user data ”, underlined Christophe Castaner. It also specifies that this new device will protect against the risk of fraud: "You will have to specify your exit time, but the time at which you edited the document will be accessible to the police. This will prevent people from completing the certificate only at the sight of a police check. And thanks to the QR code, the police and gendarmes will not need to pick up the phone, they will just have to scan the screen. ”

According to a final count, the police have carried out six million checks and drawn up 380,000 reports, since the establishment of containment. “We have seen a slight decrease in tickets, but it is not spectacular. Overall, the rules of confinement are well respected, even if we feel a difference depending on the sociology of certain neighborhoods, ”noted the Minister. However, he recognized that it was "even more difficult" to respect confinement "when you live in a group in 50 m2 in a neighborhood, than when you are lucky enough to have a pavilion with a garden".
