IATA unveils key design elements of its digital health pass
IATA has emphasised that data security, convenience and verification are top priorities for its travel health pass.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has unveiled key design elements of its digital health pass. IATA Travel Pass is a mobile app to help travellers easily and securely manage their travel in line with any government requirements for COVID-19 testing or vaccine information.

The IATA Travel Pass is a solution that both travellers and governments can trust. And it is being built with data security, convenience and verification as top priorities.”

It also serves to create a digital representation of the user’s passport to allow the information to be sent electronically in a secured way that is linked to their verified identity.
