frankblack Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Tried with my drivers license, and get as far as entering my CHI number and it brings up my name and address details, then when I click to confirm it says No Details Found - WTAF?!!!! I have an online account on NHS Scotland website with the vaccine certificate downloaded to my phone but this is just an example of complete incompetence by the SG and their software consultants not linking up databases and using shit facial recognition software.

Gards Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Still getting 'No Match Found' regardless of how many times I try, change my name details etc. Even got my CHI entered and have hospital letters which show the details match exactly....Something very wrong with this app or the matching mechanism. Would love to see Day 1 failure rate on their logs....got to be extremely high. Can't imagine this has gone through any amount of rigorous testing.

upgotheheads Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 11 hours ago, luckydug said: I'm the same keeps knocking back my passport photo as says it can't see my face clearly. It's likely the security watermarks that are causing that. It also says I don't have an account, which I clearly do when I've got a certificate. I think their helpline is going to be awfully busy tomorrow. 😏 Think I'll just take my letter and Passport along on Saturday. Similar experience for me, I got past stage one (passport photo) then stage two (face photo) wouldn't work, I presume it's somehow supposed to switch the camera to mirror mode, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to centre the image. I went back to stage one three or four times but always failed again at the face photo. Fortunately I have he paper download with Q code so I'll be going tomorrow. BBC Scotland are reporting that Hearts are saying that you won't get in without the download, which isn't true and I've sent an email to point that out, I hope they correct it.

Unless I've missed something I don't think that the app is required at all for anything as the downloadable versions have a 2D barcode?
