IATA Travel Pass

IATA Travel Pass is a mobile application that helps travellers to store and manage their verified certifications for COVID-19 tests or COVID-19 vaccines. It is more secure and efficient than current paper processes used to manage health requirements. This will be important given the potentially enormous scale of testing or vaccine verifications that will need to be securely managed. 

IATA Travel Pass will help people to travel with ease while meeting any government requirements for COVID-19 tests or vaccinations. The IATA Travel Pass has four open and interoperable modules which together create the end-to-end solution. IATA Travel Pass incorporates:  

1.  Global registry of health requirements – enables travellers to find accurate information on travel, testing and vaccination requirements for their journey.  
2. Global registry of testing / vaccination centers – enables travellers to find testing centers and labs at their departure location which meet the standards for testing and vaccination requirements of their destination. 
3. Lab App – enables authorized labs and test centers to securely share certified test and vaccination certificates with travellers.  
4. Contactless Travel App – enables travellers to (1) create a ‘digital passport’, (2) receive test and vaccination certificates and verify that they are sufficient for their itinerary, and (3) share test or vaccination certificates with airlines and authorities to facilitate travel. This app can also be used by travelers to digitally manage their travel documentation throughout their journey for a seamless travel experience

Step 3: Fulfil all entry and exit requirements of your departing and arriving country.

No. The IATA Travel Pass app helps travellers store and manage their verified certifications for COVID-19 tests or COVID-19 vaccines. Guests are still required to comply with and obtain appropriate documentations for all travel requirements and regulations imposed by the government of the departing and arriving countries.  

Yes. RB advises all travellers to have all necessary documentation and approvals with them while they are travelling. You may be requested to show these documents when entering your destination country. 

Each traveller will be required to create a digital identity and digital passport using their own device. Unfortunately, travellers without their own device will not be able to use the IATA Travel Pass app.  

International Air Transport Association (IATA) has formed an industry working group to explore how to make the process as seamless and efficient as possible for families. 

You can find the list of appointed clinics/laboratories in IATA Travel Pass app. Contact your nearest clinic/laboratory directly to make an appointment for your COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) test.

Apple / iOS users: Minimum of iOS 13.2 or above 

Android user: Android 6.0 (API level 23) or above 

Verified certificates for COVID-19 tests or vaccinations will be stored on the traveler’s phone. When needed, the traveler will be prompted to release their certificates to authorities and other stakeholders. If the passenger chooses to do so the data is sent by them from their phones directly to the other entity. Travellers always remain in control of their data with their privacy protected. 

No. You will always remain in control of your data with your privacy protected.The IATA Travel Pass does not store any data centrally. It simply links entities that need verification (airlines and governments) with the test or vaccination data when travellers permit. No verification will go to an airline or a government without the authorization of the traveler. 

There are a few reasons why this may have happened: 

1. Your digital identification was not verified at the appointed clinic/laboratory. Upon arrival at the test location, guests must inform the Lab Agent that they are participating in the IATA Travel Pass trial; or  
2. You have taken the RT-PCR test at a clinic/laboratory that is not included in appointed clinic/laboratory list.
