Completely fill out your exceptional travel certificate

The digital version of the derogatory travel certificate is compatible with the automatic filling function of smartphones. Here’s how to set up your iPhone or Android to save time on every ride.

It is the return of the derogatory certificate, recalls Capital. While some will hardly use it, others will have to use it every day to run errands, walk a pet or visit a vulnerable person. At this rate, completing the certificate with the same information every day can quickly turn out to be tedious. However, the document is compatible with the autofill function of mobile phones, which means that once your data has been entered for the first time, you will not have to re-enter it again.

To benefit from this function, all you have to do is activate the setting on your terminal. On iPhone, the procedure is rather simple: open “Settings”, then “Safari”, select the “Autofill” tab and check “Contact information”. Take the opportunity to update your personal information by choosing your contact card under the “My information” tab, if it has not already been done. Among the mandatory fields, you will have to fill in your first and last name as well as an address with the postal code of the city of residence.

If you are using Chrome, the procedure is slightly different. Open the app, then select “Settings” at the bottom right of your browser. Then enter your personal information under the “Addresses and others” tab. Are you on Android? The procedure is the same. In Google Chrome, open the “Settings” tab, then “Addresses and others”. A form proposes to add your details directly by clicking on “Add an address”.

Save time by entering your details

Once your personal data has been entered, all you have to do is open the derogatory certificate from your web browser. By typing the first letter of your first name, a form will offer you to automatically fill in the other information. On iPhone, the option is called “Auto-fill contact”. On Android, just click on your name, like in the screenshots below.© Provided by Capital On Android, just click on your contact to quickly pre-fill most fields of the certificate.© Provided by Capital Same observation on iPhone, where the “Prefill the contact” tab saves time.

After clicking, the other boxes specifying your address or city will be filled in automatically. More than saving time, this process will save you from typing the same information several times a day. One downside, however: the date and place of birth are not recognized by the autofill function on iPhones as on Android. For these two parameters, you will have no choice but to enter them regularly or to use a third-party application.

As noted by Les Numériques, it is already possible to use the widget of the insurer Luko. This small device, downloadable only on Android, allows you to automatically fill in the travel certificate from your browser favorites or from a desktop shortcut. For iPhone users, the iGen site also offers a technical solution, but you will have to be patient because it is much more complex than using autofill.
