Not here. It is technically possible to use a printed version, but they're not actually accepted anywhere. No phone means no access.

Odd. Is it because the people who do the access control (think that they) have to follow strict procedures, or why isn't a printout accepted?

There's a lot of fraud with the printed/pdf variants, so they are not accepted anymore. How an app prevents such things, I have no idea.

You are right. Print the qr and put in your wallet like any elderly person I know does.

Except the tests you have to scan a QR to register, get the result by email etc.

Sure it's "possible" but then you have to take a photo of all QRs of all the test centers you might want to use, register for those at home, go there, go home to print the email. Rinse and repeat every day.

So you could do that and waste 3h a day doing it, or you carry a phone.

The registration in restaurants a lot of restaurants don't accept paper registration anymore either.

Fortunately have never had to show a test or a vaccine pass on a phone. Boy am I glad I’ve been living in England these last few years if that’s becoming normalised!
