Despite the fact that most of the autonomous communities are at the entrance of shops, there are still regions where it will continue to be requested, at least until the end of February. A document that exposes the health life of the patient and his relationship with the coronavirus and for which falsifying it to gain access to some place is strongly penalized.
Since the European Union gave the go-ahead to the Covid passport to authorize the passage of certain people to certain places, the police have been detecting attempts at fraud through its forgery. As with any measure, there is always a ruse behind it for those who do not comply or do not want to comply with its conditions and therefore to eradicate this deception.
A Covid passport that can be changed in various ways, either by modifying the data of a person or posing as another who does meet the conditions. Reason for which this fact is considered “false documentation” and as such carries a harsh penalty in case of setting off legal alarms.
This is the fine for falsifying the Covid passport
From 60 to 600 euros and from six months to three years in prison, depending on the crime committed in the modification of the Covid passport, Spanish laws are very clear in this regard for those who violate them. Both for the material perpetrator and for the person who orders it, since it may not be the same, its sanction is comparable to that of other mandatory documents such as the DNI or the driving license.
The Covid passport is still essential to enter certain countries both in the EU and outside it
For now, it is only mandatory to access shops in Galicia, the Region of Murcia and the Valencian Community, and it is also requested at the entrance to health centers in La Rioja. In addition, its penalty can be even more problematic in the event of counterfeiting outside of Spain, as it is still mandatory in foreign countries if the authorities of the State of entry consider it so.
A document that must be in the name of the person who carries it, with the certificates of originality issued by Spain and the EU and in two official continental languages. Indispensable to know the relevant information for all patients about the coronavirus, if the disease has officially passed and how many vaccines they carry, the police remember that they are always aware of these possible deceptions that may arise from their use.
