What is the COVID-19 Green Certification (Green Pass)?
The COVID-19 Green certification was created to facilitate the unrestricted and safe movement of citizens within the European Union during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of 6 December, the ‘Super Green Pass Decree’ has entered into force in Italy, differentiating between the Reinforced COVID-19 Green Certificate and the Covid-19 Green Certificate.
The Reinforced COVID-19 Green Certificate provides proof of having been fully vaccinated against or having recovered from COVID-19.
The Covid-19 Green Certificate provides proof of having received a negative result from an antigen or molecular test, or having been fully vaccinated against or having recovered from COVID-19.
The Certification contains a QR Code that allows verifying the authenticity and validity of the information.
The European Commission has created a common platform (European Gateway) to ensure that certificates issued by European countries can be verified in all EU countries. In Italy, the Certification is issued exclusively through the National Platform of the Ministry of Health, in both digital and paper format.
