BEFORE YOUR TRIP
COVID TESTING AND VACCINATION SMARTPHONE APPS
Airlines , specific countries and other entities have built smartphone applications ( apps ) for use in flight boarding , border control , entry to restaurants and a variety of other venues . These smartphone apps are free of charge and downloadable from the Apple App Store and Google Play . Most international airlines are using a COVID related app incorporated into their passenger app ( such as United and Delta ) or use a preferred independent app ( American and British Airways partner VeriFly ).
These apps are being used ( and in some instances may be required ) to upload negative COVID-19 test results , vaccination records and forms to get verified status for travel . They can also be used in conjunction with checking in , getting your mobile boarding pass and streamlining your airport experience , particularly for international flights .
Generally , the smartphone apps being used by countries for border control and entry to such venues as hotels , restaurants , museums and other venues are different from the airline apps . These apps may or may not be available for international tourists depending on local rules ( which are frequently changing ).
One app increasingly accepted in foreign venues is the Clear Health Pass app . This is from the same company that operates the CLEAR airport security system . Unlike the security expedite membership , the Clear Health Pass is free to all users and generates a QR code linked to your verified vaccination card . Download the Clear Health App here .
Rely on your trusted travel advisor to give you the latest guidance on which apps you may need to download and use for specific purposes .
