French health pass wait time?
Has anyone applied online and received their French health pass? How long did it take? I applied online Sept. 6 and still waiting for my QR code. At the time, the wait time was a little over a week. As of today, it's 16 days. I assume the 16 days is for anyone who applied today. Thanks/Merci!

Are you talking about the pass where you upload a pic of your passport and CDC card? I applied two days ago for a trip I'm taking for two nights in late November.

we applied on Sept 4
We file our documents for the pass santitaire on Sept, 4. that same day we received a notice along with a an application number confirming it had been submitted. But, since the 4th , (17 days ago) we have heard nothing. We are not traveling to France, from the US, for 4 more weeks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is another post on this thread that suggests filing a new application/dossier early in the morning Paris time which would be between 8 and 9 am. The poster refilled when they didn’t receive their approval and QR code after several weeks but when they refilled with a new dossier number they received approval very quickly. I think within the hour. I’m assuming from what he said that for some reason the French process applications that come in first. Why I don’t know. Doesn’t make sense. I should be at the top of the list right now but still have no answer. I have a few more weeks before I leave so I’m going to sit tight.
The other option is when you arrive in France (your CDC card will get you through customs) you can ask the hotel for a pharmacy that is willing to translate and upload your information to the French covid app “AntiCoviid.” If that doesn’t work you can obtain a covid test every 48 or 72 hours. There are plenty of testing sites in Paris and other cities. Of course there is a cost involved. Hope this helps.

I got my pass yesterday. I applied Sept 4 and got a confirmation number that day. Yesterday I received a notice that my application was approved and gave me a link to site where I could print a certificate . It works!

Nothing!! I created a new dossier and refiled my application at 2:35 am this morning (8:35 Paris time) and absolutely nothing. I received a confirmation email that my application was received but NOTHING since and it's now 10:05 am my time. I'm thinking my next move is to use a different email and create a new account. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Merci!
