Perhaps If one just has the qr code tattooed on their forehead or the back of their hand...

Alan, the "card" covid pass that is "downloaded" into Google Pay is NOT editable. The pdf form is editable (which is stupid) but only the name and DoB. When the QR code is scanned it will show the correct name and address on the scanners device. I am not defending the cluster#%&@ that this lot is engaged in but just ensuring the correct info is out there.

Salty C - yes I figured that.

Used the pass 1st time this morning. Booked Hair cut.
Used the screen shot.. which if one would like , set as wallpaper.
They scanned it all good..
Finally a good hair cut...

 Yes .. But

And in practice will the person scanning know to check they match?  and if know when have 100s ppl line up actually check..?

My 1st scan yesterday , mentioned to the person and they did not know they should be checking details on my copy match the details on what  he scanned..

Not only that, I could simply have another person legit copy... scans  details match , not edited, just wrong person.
Just as PJC points out.. no verification like arms or Pass port or drivers license, student ID card... or DHB bit paper to match

Government talked about passes over a yr ago, including for ppl going to other countries..They knew most other countries required official government verification over and above the DHB bit paper... and didnt sign off  the contract to make till about 30 days before issue....

 Its like they make stuff up as they go along, even they know what is needed a yr before.
 The ring fencing rentals same thing, came in active march, as an idea.. full of bugs and in legislation not going thru till next yr..

No argument from me about the stupidity and short sightedness of this lot Steps, this whole covid pass thing has been badly thought out, poorly designed and atrociously implemented. Full of holes and pretty easily subverted.

Only a matter of time, just like the proof required of a negative test result before you leave a country to come to NZ. False certs easy to come by in some countries where scammers make a living from these types of things.

The stupid thing is that if you squawk loud enough and plead that you wont have enough staff for you business to operate if the vac cert thing in enforced the govt has already relaxed on their original mandate. My way of thinking you either have to be vaccinated to be in public or you don't. I feel sorry for the cafés and businesses similar to them that have had to endure 3 months plus of little income, now they have to enforce the cert thing and yet supermarkets, diary's and now food outlets don't even check. The latter would  have to be the riskiest places to go at present because the rank and file visit all the time.

Agree the whole thing is a cluster. There is a huge amount of effort, cost, and compliance to make the 90+% jump through hoops just to try make life hard for the 10% who haven't behaved. I feel sorry for cafe's and restaurants who have been bent over and shafted. There should be a collective boycott of the whole system.
