Your benefits at a glance
PCR test for your journey
EU Digital COVID Certificate
From now on, you can get the digital COVID certificate at CeGaT, which is recognized in all EU member states. After receiving the result, you can scan the QR code you received to retrieve the findings at our test station with the Corona Warn app. This will deposit the COVID digital certificate in the Corona Warning app.
Note: The digital COVID certificate can only be retrieved after digital data capture. Please note that for the EU digital COVID certificate, the QR code can only be scanned once with the Corona Warn App!
Passport Number/ID Card Number and Timestamp
Upon request, we will, of course, print your passport number/ID card number on your PCR test result. This may be particularly important for travel abroad. If you come to CeGaT to have the swab performed, please bring a copy of your passport or of your ID card with you. In that case, the time of swab collection will be noted on the report.
Please note: Subsequent changes are not possible. Passport numbers/ID card numbers must be entered manually. Thus, it is possible that your first report does not contain these numbers. We will process this promptly and therefore kindly ask for your patience.
We recommend that you inform yourself about the entry requirements of your destination before starting your trip. Also, check with your airline which tests you need in your individual case.

Our medical personnel will perform the swab for the PCR test on-site. All samples are examined in the in-house laboratory.

Data Entry
To speed up the process at the Corona testing sites and to reduce waiting times, we ask you to enter your data before visiting the test station. To do this, enter all the required data in the predefined form. After completing the data entry, you will receive a QR code, which you will need for on-site registration. If you are using a mobile device for data entry, you can simply save the barcode you receive and show it during registration. If you are using a different device for data entry, the barcode must be printed out in advance and be brought to the test center. Your data will only be used to generate a QR code and will not be saved.
