Questions about the example
Can I use this PDF for a real transport?
No. It is a test document with fictitious data and is marked as not valid. For your own operation you must create an account, complete the real data and issue your own document before the service starts.
What happens when I scan the QR code of the example?
The matching demonstration PDF opens directly, with no registration or login. The second version has its own PDF and QR. You can check both downloads from this page without creating an account.
Can the driver carry a printed copy of the DeCA?
Yes. The document is generated electronically, but the driver can carry a printed copy with the QR code or show the digital copy. If it is modified, the driver must receive the updated version. It is not corrected by writing on the paper by hand.
