French and European Health Pass (DCC) verification application
TAC Verif - French Government
Verification application for French and European health certificates (EU-DCC: Digital Covid Certificate)
IMPORTANT - The use of this application is limited to certain professions mentioned in article 3 of decree n° 2022-1097 of July 30, 2022. To access the TAC Verif+ mode and obtain the unlocking QR Code, download the guide from the portal https://authent-tacvplus.sante.gouv.fr.
OPERATION - The TAC Verif application allows you to carry out health certificate checks in totally offline mode. No connection to the internet or to a server is necessary to verify a health certificate. On the other hand, the application must regularly be reconnected to the Internet (GSM / WiFi network), otherwise it will stop working after having alerted its user to the fact that regular and punctual synchronization is essential.
The “compulsory” (punctual) synchronization frequency is a parameter that changes according to needs. The user will be notified that they have a period of time left in days/hours before the application stops working. To find out when the last synchronization took place between TAC Verif and the synchronization server, go to the settings section of the parameters.
The mandatory (and one-off) nature of this synchronization makes it possible to check that the application is up-to-date and has the correct version of each health certificate for EU-DCCs.
Data exchanges between the TAC Verif mobile application and the synchronization server are therefore occasionally necessary. These data exchanges do not concern the health certificates which are verified (no personal data is exchanged or stored during the verification of a certificate), they are used to guarantee the authenticity of the verified certificates.
