Traze App: How To Use The Contract Tracing Application in the Philippines
The Department of Transportation in the Philippines has launched a contact tracing application. Everyone who flies in and out of the country will need to have this. Here’s a guide on how to download and register in the Traze App.
By November 28, 2020, all airport passengers must download and register here for contract tracing. This has made by the Philippine Ports Authority and Cosmotech Philippines Inc. It is currently used in 4 airports in the Philippines, and hopefully, on other transportation and establishments.

Registering in the Traze App
STEP 1: Open the app and click “Register.”
STEP 2: Choose which category you are in. I’ll be choosing “individual.”
STEP 3: Fill up the information asked as well as take your photo. Make sure the app can access your camera.
STEP 4: Submit it.
STEP 5: Enter the verification code.
STEP 6: It will say that your registration is complete.
STEP 7: Enter your username and password to activate your account.
Activating your Traze App
STEP 1: Log-in. Click “Traze Me.”
STEP 2: Enter the verification code. Make sure you have the internet.
STEP 3: Your activation will be complete.
Using the Traze App – Your QR Code
STEP 1: You will have your Traze ID available. To get your QR Code, click “Traze Me.”
STEP 2: Go to Preview.
STEP 3: Screenshot it. You can save it to your gallery and present it to the people asking for your Traze ID. You can also print this, for those who don’t have a mobile phone or think it hassle to do so.
As per Traze’s Facebook page:
- The validity of “Traze Me” QR Code is only for 10 minutes as the code refreshes every time
- Printed QR codes for family members will be valid for 3 days
- From Malasakit or Traze Helpdesks, it will be valid for 999 days
Using the Traze App – Other’s QR Code
STEP 1: In case you are in another establishment, transportation, barangay, etc. You can scan their QR Code, click “Traze QR Code.”
STEP 2: Use your camera to scan their QR Code.
STEP 3: Their data will be successfully saved.
Traze Where You Have Been
As you will be scanning other QR codes, you will know where you have been. Click “Traze History.”
COVID-19 Notification
In case the establishment you’ve visited also has someone who has COVID-19, then you can see it on your notifications. Click “Notification.”
Hopefully, it says, “No record found.”
That’s it about the Traze App. It’s super useful because you won’t be writing on the contact forms anymore. The application is also good online or offline; plus, you can add your family members or neighbors who don’t have phones.

Hello, anyone tried or was able to download the traze app in iphone 6? (ios 12.5.5 only)
I cannot buy a new phone just for this app to work.
This makes this app not so friendly for the users. 😔
it says “can not create verification code”
-connected to the net
-sim number does not have load
-email used is below 13 years old
please contact traze’s customer support.
Hi,
What to do if your traze app is locked out? How to activate it again?
Please contact them po or register again.
Hi Rudy
I have the same problem.
How did you sort yours out?
I appreciate any help. Traze system not user friendly.
Hi Lyza
I have the issue about invalid username and pw. I followed your advised to register again but it doesnt work. The verification system of Traze using only username not good. Either by email or text should be considered. Other safe sited does this like Amazon. Its frustrating.
I’m sorry for your experience, the app is not as old as amazon but was developed within covid times. I actually saved mine, so there’s no problem on my side.
Again, have you tried registering again – using a different username?
