• Since the entry into force of the compulsory health pass in some places, discontent has been heard to the point where some bypass this measure by using the QR code of their relatives.

  • Only the police can verify the identity of the holders of the QR code, which facilitates the temptations of fraud.

  • Quentin * and Cléa * recount the reasons which led them to act in this way.

    Sabrina * explains why she agreed to share her vaccination certificate.

To have a drink or travel, it is necessary to show your health pass, that is to say, a vaccination certificate, a negative PCR or antigen test.

or proof of "recovery".

Its entry into force has triggered numerous protests over the past three weeks, but it has also given way to fraud.

Indeed, what about the QR code issued, "everything that is verification of identity documents is not the responsibility of the establishments, but that of the security forces," said Prime Minister Jean Castex. 

20 Minutes

collected the testimonies of Niçois who used the certificate of their relatives.

"Without being anti-tax, I do not necessarily agree with the measures applied and the obligation of the health pass," says Quentin *, 27 years old.

I then delayed my vaccination as much as possible until it was almost compulsory to live.

"While waiting for his second dose, this Nice native of Occitanie preferred to ask a friend rather than go to be tested.

“At the bottom of my house, it takes an hour of waiting and then another hour to get the results.

I wanted to have a drink, it was momentary and the QR code, I got it on the first message sent.

On the other hand, I did not dare to use it to cross the border ”.

Share, yes but not to anyone

Cléa *, 24, shares this experience, for practically the same reasons. “Nobody checks the identity, except the police, so the waiter saw nothing but fire and even thanked me, admits the young woman. Afterwards, if I had been fined, perhaps I would not have repeated the experience ”.

Indeed, on the vaccination certificate, it is stipulated that "this document is personal and not transferable"

.

But also that “the law makes liable to fine and / or imprisonment anyone guilty of fraud or false declarations (articles 441-1 of the Penal Code). In addition, the falsification or the establishment of false documents, as well as the use of such documents are punishable by a financial penalty under Articles L. 162-1-14 of the Social Security Code. The Penal Code thus provides for three years' imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros for forgery and use of forgery, indicates an article in

Liberation

on this subject.

Sabrina * passed on her vaccination certificate to a friend.

“I did it because it was a loved one.

I knew she needed it at a specific time and was waiting for her second dose.

She also told me that she couldn't take the antigen tests anymore.

She adds, "But I won't give it to just anyone, it depends on my friendship and the situation."

I don't want to share it all over the place, it's also a mark of trust.

Anyway, virtually everyone around me has received or will soon receive their vaccination certification.

"
