Doesnt need to be, if the covid passport is not confirmed
by the central database as yours, you get denied access.

But I just say I'm Rod Speed and these are the details on the data base
they check to allow access. How is another member of the public (bar
staff, ticket sellers, doormen) going to know I'm not using another
identity?

By checking that it is actually Rod Speed by having the central
database confirm that using one of those funky things we call
mobile phones. And dont try claiming that not all of the bar
staff, ticket sellers, doormen etc dont always have mobile
phone service, those can use wifi calling.

The whole point of any covid passport is not to stop those who have been
given the vaccine and are using the correct details but to prevent others
who have not had the vaccine (nor a recent negative test) attending indoor
or crowded events.

Duh.

It's like believing that having a driving licence system stops joy riding
or drink driving, a passport system stops people in rubber boats entering
the country, having scrap metal laws stop metal theft etc.

Nothing like, because those dont involve any access checking person.

Law (rules) are only obeyed by those who are law abiding.

Irrelevant to whether it is perfectly possible to allow bar staff,
ticket sellers, doormen etc to check if it is your covid passport.
