The managers and operators in the checks on the green pass will ask for an identity document in case of inconsistencies. The interpretative clarification on the issue of checks on green certification for access to premises such as bars, restaurants, cinemas and theaters comes from the Interior Ministry. «The verification of the identity of the person in possession of the green certification is of a discretionary nature – reads a circular from the Ministry of the Interior – and is aimed at guaranteeing the legitimate possession of the certification itself. This verification will in any case be necessary in cases of abuse or circumvention of the rules. For example, when it appears, the inconsistency with the personal data contained in the certification manifests itself ». Furthermore, it is clarified, “in the aforementioned cases, the customer is required to show an identity document”.

Privacy Guarantor: operators check documents
An indication that corrects what the Minister of the Interior had declared on Monday 9 August, Luciana Lamorgese: holders must check the pass at the entrance to the restaurants but “they will not be able to ask customers for an identity card”. The Privacy Guarantor, citing the Dpcm of last June 17, had instead pointed out that also “the owners of accommodation facilities and public establishments” can ask the holders of the green certification to show an identity document.

The position of the exhibitors
The clarification was expected and served to explain in particular the fourth paragraph of article 13 of the same document, according to which at the time of the verification the holder of the Covid certification “demonstrates, at the request of the verifiers (…), his personal identity by showing an identity document “. The restaurateurs, however, underline: «We hope that our” request “for an identity card will only take place where there is a clear falsification of the certificate. And in that case, if the customer refuses to show the document, we would call law enforcement. We cannot take the place of a public official “, warns the general director of the Italian Federation of public businesses (Fipe) of Confcommercio, Roberto Calugi. And in the case of sanctions also for managers, he adds: “We would evaluate appeals, but it will be our Governing Council to decide”.
