Good Health Pass Collaborative

What Good Health Pass Collaborative does

Good Health Pass Collaborative (GHPC) is a cross-sector initiative launched in 2021 by ID2020 to develop principles and standards for digital health passes aimed at restoring international travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative convened more than 125 companies and organizations from the technology, health, and travel sectors, with 120 experts contributing to its flagship output: the Good Health Pass Interoperability Blueprint v1.0.0, which defines proposed interoperability specifications for COVID-19 status credentials across multiple interoperability dimensions. Supporting publications include the ID2020 Technical Requirements and the ID2020 Approval Profile, which together specify requirements and conformance criteria for ethical, privacy-protecting digital identity systems.

The underlying technology is centered on credential interoperability standards and digital identity specifications rather than a commercial software platform. Distribution occurs through open publication of technical documents available for free download from the Digital Impact Alliance website, with no API, SDK, or proprietary product offering disclosed. The initiative does not sell licenses, subscriptions, or services, and pricing is not applicable.

GHPC is structured as a non-commercial standards-setting effort rather than a revenue-generating entity. It is now housed within the Digital Impact Alliance, a nonprofit foundation, following the August 2023 merger of ID2020 with the Digital Impact Alliance. The entity's served populations are standards-adopting organizations across technology, healthcare, and travel — including airlines, airports, border control agencies, and digital health credential issuers — rather than paying customers. Operational status as a standalone initiative beyond the 2021-2023 pandemic-response period is not explicitly confirmed in the source data.

Core offering

Good Health Pass Collaborative is a cross-sector initiative that develops principles, standards, and interoperability specifications for digital health passes used to verify COVID-19 status credentials. It convenes organizations across technology, health, and travel sectors to produce open technical publications including the Good Health Pass Interoperability Blueprint and supporting identity specifications.

Product overview

Good Health Pass Collaborative is a cross-sector initiative launched in 2021 to develop principles and standards for digital health passes aimed at restoring international travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than a single unified product, the initiative functions as a standards-setting body that produced the Good Health Pass Interoperability Blueprint, which defines interoperability specifications for COVID-19 status credentials. Supporting publications include the ID2020 Technical Requirements and ID2020 Approval Profile, which together provide specifications for creating ethical, privacy-protecting digital identity systems.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Others

• World Health Organization — Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC): WHO developed the Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC) and accompanying technical specifications to guide member states. It is comparable as an adjacent standards-setter in the same digital health credential category, with influence driven by international governance rather than private-sector coalition.
• Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL): DIAL is the nonprofit parent of ID2020 and houses GHPC's outputs after the 2023 merger. It is comparable as the institutional ecosystem in which GHPC now operates, focused on inclusive digital public infrastructure and digital ID governance.

Direct peers

• ID2020 Alliance: ID2020, the founding organization of GHPC, is itself a standards and advocacy body for ethical digital identity. It is a direct peer because it publishes overlapping identity specifications (Technical Requirements, Approval Profile) and convenes a multi-stakeholder alliance around privacy-protecting digital ID.
• Linux Foundation Public Health (LFPH) — Common Trust Network / VCI: LFPH hosts the Common Trust Network and Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), which produced the SMART Health Card framework widely adopted in the US and Canada. It is a direct peer because both efforts publish open specifications to enable interoperable digital health credentials across issuers and verifiers.
• IATA (International Air Transport Association): IATA developed the IATA Travel Pass, a parallel standard and app for verifying traveler health credentials. It is a direct peer because both initiatives target airline, airport, and border-control use cases for interoperable digital health passes built on common standards.
• The Commons Project Foundation: The Commons Project built CommonPass and CommonHealth, standards-based health credential wallets working with airlines and governments. It is a direct peer because both efforts focused on cross-border, privacy-protecting verification of COVID-19 status and other health credentials.
• CLEAR (Health Pass): CLEAR launched Health Pass as a commercial product linking verified health credentials to venue and workplace entry. It is a direct peer in the digital health credential space, though it commercialized a verification layer rather than publishing open standards.
• International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) — AOKpass: ICC backed AOKpass, a blockchain-based health credential standard adopted by several governments and airlines during the pandemic. It is a direct peer because both pursue interoperable, privacy-preserving verification of traveler health status across borders.

Broad incumbents

• European Commission — EU Digital COVID Certificate (eHealth Network): The EU's eHealth Network coordinated the EU Digital COVID Certificate, the most widely adopted digital health pass during the pandemic. It is a broad incumbent because it set a binding regional standard that effectively shaped global interoperability requirements for health passes.
• IBM — Digital Health Pass: IBM offered IBM Digital Health Pass, an enterprise- and venue-focused credential verification platform. It is a broad incumbent because, while it overlaps with GHPC's verification use case, IBM's offering is one product inside a much larger services portfolio rather than a dedicated standards body.
