It is a “lifeline,” said the prime minister, Evelyn Wever-Croes. Soon, it may be able to fast-track those who arrive with digital confirmation that they have been vaccinated. “People don’t want to stand in line, especially with social distancing,” Ms. Wever-Croes said in an interview this week. From Britain to Israel, these passports are taking shape or already in use.
