As we move into the traffic light system (COVID-19 Protection Framework) from Friday 3 December, the release of the NZ Pass Verifier app is another step to prepare for this next phase in the COVID response.
Salons are a close contact business and are encouraged to use the NZ Verifier App.
The app helps to quickly manage vaccine certificates and makes sure you can easily check that your clients are fully vaccinated. It can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play app stores.
For clients entering the salon, their My Vaccine Pass will be scanned by the verifier app. The verifier will show a green tick recognising the official QR code that is embedded into the customer’s pass. It will show quickly that the person is fully vaccinated or has the appropriate exemption and can enter the salon.
The verifier app does not store a person’s data or see any information other than a person’s name and date of birth.
Technical guidance for NZ Pass Verifier is available on the Ministry of Health website and additional guidance for using the verifier under the COVID Protection Framework will be released soon. You can also call 0800 800 606 for assistance.
