Covid passport for travel - how long does it take?

My adult DSS is flying to Norway at 10am tomorrow morning but only applied for the covid travel passport at 7pm tonight. The app says it can take up to 7 days - has anyone got theirs any quicker? Hoping for some good news stories here as this is a very expensive, long awaited trip ..

About 30 mins when I did it.

You mean the pass that downloads to your phone?
Mine took less than an hour.

Yes he needs the QR code for international travel, but they say it needs to be verified?

Thanks @Cookerhood but we've tried that and it's only for the domestic one
