Dear Members,

People are getting increasingly frustrated at the delay in receiving their AUTHCODE from the Ministry of Health to access and download the Green Pass which will be required in many cases in Italy from 6th August and for travel in the EU and Schengen countries without prior testing.

 FFOA has received the following information from the Designated UN Official in Italy (FAO) ret the issuance of the green pass without an AUTHCODE for those vaccinated under the UN Programme in Italy including retirees who were registered by FFOA.


" The Office of the Designated Official for Italy at FAO is aware that there has been a delay in the issuance of EU Digital COVID Certificates for personnel and eligible dependents vaccinated through the UN vaccination campaign (especially those without a Tessera Sanitaria). Legislation regulating the Certificate was issued only after the UN vaccination campaign was in full swing, so relevant systems and databases needed to be retroactively linked among stakeholders (the systems of the military counterparts delivering the vaccine, Ministry of Finance databases and the Ministry of Health system releasing the AUTHCODEs). As you can imagine, this has been a complex knot to unravel, so your patience has been appreciated.

The Office of the Designated Official at FAO is now pleased to communicate that through tireless efforts, in collaboration with Italian government counterparts, a solution has been agreed for those vaccinated through the UN vaccination campaign who have been facing issues to be able to access their EU Digital COVID Certificate.

The process for directly accessing the EU Digital COVID Certificate (without any AUTHCODEs) will be simplified for those vaccinated through the UN vaccination campaign through the https://www.dgc.gov.it/spa/public/home<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dgc.gov.it%2Fspa%2Fpublic%2Fhome&data=04%7C01%7Camir.abdulla%40wfp.org%7Cc334aead4a294189719308d951d54d2c%7C462ad9aed7d94206b87471b1e079776f%7C0%7C0%7C637630798984598603%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=4RvcSGu%2FU50KGG8N%2FjV0lnslA8f0SqefhRfcczAleG4%3D&reserved=0>  portal only with the provisions of two elements (and no longer requiring an AUTHCODE) from Monday, 2 August:

  1.  The codice fiscale provided to the vaccination facility at the time of vaccination (whatever codice fiscale appears on your vaccination record)
  2.  The date of second dose.

This information can be found on your vaccination record, whether your record is:

  *   the printed QR code sheet from Cecchignola
  *   a handwritten and stamped form from Cecchignola or another UN vaccination hub (Turin, Padua, Brindisi, etc)
  *   a handwritten and stamped form from FAO.


Kindly note that the date for the new system’s launch has been communicated by host government counterparts, so the Office of the Designated Official for Italy is not responsible for any delays in its activation. However, it is expected that it will in any case be ready prior to the implementation of new Green Pass requirements on 6 August.


The Office of the Designated Official for Italy is confident that, through this simplified process, the vast majority of UN personnel who were fully vaccinated through the UN vaccination campaign (either at the Cecchignola vaccination center, at other military hubs or at FAO HQ) will be able to access their EU Digital COVID Certificate in time for the new Green Pass requirements from 6 August.


Acknowledging that this will not resolve issues for 100% of individuals vaccinated through the UN, the Office of the Designated Official for Italy will put in place a dedicated task force at FAO to respond to individual cases where personnel and dependents are still unable to access their EU Digital COVID Certificate. Further information will follow regarding the task force and phone number to call as well as hours of operation, which should become available from Monday, 9 August. Please do not contact FAO CSLH or CSLS regarding your Green Pass in the meantime.


Please note that the Office of the Designated Official for Italy is unable to support individuals who did not receive the complete vaccination cycle through the UN vaccination campaign (e.g. individuals who received one or both doses abroad, who canceled their second dose for any reason other than COVID-19 infection, or who were vaccinated through the Lazio Region) because this simplified system will not have the requisite data to produce the Certificate for these individuals.


For those persons not vaccinated under the UN programme  such as those who self-registered directly with Salute Lazio using their Codice Fiscale the following advice is offered:


1. Call the Salute Assistance line ..1500 .. this is very busy and can take some time to be answered.

i) Give your name and Codice Fiscale

ii) Dates and location of vaccination

iii) Your mobile number and email address


2. Send an email with the above details to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Replies are not quick at present.


Millions of Green Passes are having to be issued and delays will need to be expected so patience is needed.


A further issue to be noted is the need to complete a passenger locator form (PLF) if you are out of Italy and returning to Italy or if you are going to another EU country. This is complementary to the Green Pass.... information and the form are accessible at https://app.euplf.eu/#/


FFOA will be closed from 31st July to Sunday 5th September.


Your Executive Committee wishes you a pleasant, safe and healthy summer.


Best regards,

FFOA Secretariat
