For getting the certificate online: There's currently no easy way. Previous methods below:
The Panama system (https://www.panamadigital.gob.pa/) works for foreigners and then it can be converted to a EU code through their reciprocal agreement. See post #440 and beyond for detailsSwiss website (charges 30 CHF): https://covidcertificate-form.admin.ch/foreignGeneva website (free): https://smc02.hug.ch/surveys/?s=WA39AEN9T3CYMK9W

My assistant has been handling this for me so is there a way to confirm this is the actual ECU QR code that I need in Italy and elsewhere?
Last night I got a PDF from Panama. It has a small QR code and the box with an image for my vaccination card is empty. Their email mentioned this was missing and I should try again. My assistant has tried this and so far no joy.

I also got a PDF from Panama and was not surprised when that QR code failed to register at all.

Mine are showing as valid in CovPass (Germany) and TousAntiCovid (France) with 3/3 doses! Also accepted in the Swiss app.

Their PDF also did not show my CDC card and I think my assistant said she was not able to amend that in any way.

It was a little tedious and took several days, but I was able to print the Panama issued EU Covid Pass as a PDF file. It scanned as valid in the German CovPass app on my cell phone and I am good to go...... Thank you to all of the posts that eventually gave me the information and understanding to complete the task.
By the way, I can't see it in the app yet, but the direct link from the posts worked very well..
While my paper CDC card will be adequate, it is reassuring that proof of vaccination won't be an issue for travel to Spain through Germany next month. I just need that nuisance Covid test to get back home.
Cheers

I read post 543 above and I want to point out that the same thing happened with my spouse, but not me. She logged back in and clicked on correction of vaccination record and sent her scanned CDC card showing all three doses again and there was a correction within a day and 3 doses were shown. Needless to say, the various European apps say the Panama Pass for me and her are now showing as valid. I know it is redundant now for our visit to France next week though rules keep on changing.

As I understand it, the EU protocol is to only show the minimum information necessary to establish you are fully vaxxed, such as "3/3", type of vax, and date of last vax.
For Portugal, their website says you need the complete vax schedule, but I suspect that is a translation error and they mean "completed" since the EU digital cert doesn't show all the individual dates of vax (at least mine doesn't).

At this point, none of that matters since both the CovidPass and GreenPass iOS says my EU QR code is not authentic.
I should take some solace from a post in the DL forum where a member reported having been in Italy for 10 days and reportedly had no problems. The member did not say where in Italy, and what places were in view and what credentials they had in hand.

Because, as I stated in that post, the Panama form shows only 2 shots and the CDC card I submitted showed three. I do not want to get backed up on the 270 day count with my initial shots in January 2021.

Best wishes getting things straightened out as needed.

How long does it usually take to get the QR code after submitting the application? It’s been a few days and I haven’t heard anything.

I don't think my vaccination record has been processed yet. Dose info is still empty on the site. How long does that usually take? I got the emails but I also got an error message, so I'm not sure if it went through.

The second e-mail after submitting your vax information is the confirmation that the records have been processed. I found Microsoft Edge was the only browser that allowed me to successfully submit. There is much more information upthread on the process.

Successfully got the EU QR code now! It took about a week altogether.

Anyone tried the Panama form in the past day or two? I was able to create an account but after filling out the form with my vaccine info, I'm unable to 'Validar Usuario' (Verify User) and hit 'Enviar' (Send). Tried filling out this form in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox; no luck in any browser. Just wondering if others have run into this, as I didn't see it upthread.

Edge was the only browser that permitted me to submit my vax data.
