All the ways to install the Covid Certificate on your Android: PDF, Google Pay and other applications
It is not essential to carry the Covid Certificate on your mobile since it is enough to show the printed PDF . Even so, it is advisable to keep it in several places to ensure that it will always be at hand. Since the certificate’s QR code can behave like a loyalty card, you can save it in Huawei Wallet so that you have it along with other cards and coupons.
First things first: you have to download the Covid Certificate in PDF to your Huawei mobile. There are two ways:
- Through the health application of your Autonomous Community. Install the app that corresponds to you, register and in it you will see a “Covid Certificate” section. Download it to the phone and you will have it in PDF format. In the event that the health application is not found in AppGallery, try searching for the APK. If not, you will have to request the Certificate at the Ministry.
- Through the Ministry of Health. It is a process that requires having a Cl @ ve or digital certificate: it is accessed through this website of the Ministry . Follow the steps and, after completing them, you will receive a notification along with the link to the PDF with the Covid Certificate.
With the PDF on the phone is enough, you just have to open it if you need it. Even so, let’s see how to install it in Huawei Wallet, a process that involves converting the PDF to PKPASS, the Passbook format of the iPhone (you can save this step by directly downloading the Covid Certificate in Wallet format ). For the task we will use the Covidpass website. It is safe, but you must bear in mind that, even so, you share private medical information with the page .

The PKPASS file will have been downloaded to your Huawei mobile. Now it’s time to add the Covid Certificate to Huawei Wallet, let’s see the last steps.
- Install Pass2Pay on your phone . It is an app that converts Apple Passbook passes into a Huawei Wallet and Google Pay card.
- Click on the PKPASS file that you downloaded earlier, choose “Open as” and select the Pass2Pay app.
- Fill in the missing box with “Covid Certificate”.
- Scroll down to the bottom, uncheck the option “” include Pass2Pay terms of use “and click on” Save to phone“.
