Covid: PCR test result now showing passport ID
Hi all - learned my local hospital testing did not, and is not allowed, to put my passport ID on my test result.
How strict will border control be? If they check this at all...
Thanks!

Is that to enter Spain ?
if yes, it should not be a problem. To share my recent experience (1 week old) : the PCR test center did not add my passport number on the test result (despite my request and they took note of it) and it was not a problem. In fact the test was not checked at all on arrival (they just scanned my QR code). But sincerely, even if they had check the test result, I cannot imagine it would have been a problem as the paper already included my name, birth date, home address that can be cross checked with my ID if wished. I fail to see what the ID number would have add.

Just flew GVA-MAD-LPA on April 15 and returned yesterday April 22. Both times, Iberia was checking the PCR test and I could hear the ground staff mumble "name, date, negative, ID". And she was checking against my ID card.
When landing in LPA, there was a check again, right before reaching the luggage belt, where they looked at the PCR results against a piece of ID.
