What is the Passenger Locator Form for Italy
Passenger Locator Form for Italy is an online health declaration that must be individually completed by every incoming visitor to Italy prior to their arrival by any means of transport.
The Italian Government requires every traveller to complete this form to help in contact tracing of any possible infections. PLFs help reduce the Covid-19 rates within countries, therefore serving as an additional safety measure for health authorities.
The Italian dPLF is easily accessible online since the Passenger Locator Form is part of the Digital PLF system. Travellers who plan a trip to Italy should spare a few minutes when preparing for the trip to complete this form online.
Who needs to complete the Italian PLF
Every person visiting Italy must complete the Italian dPLF. Each traveller must have their own copy of the completed form upon arrival.
Children should be added to the applications made by their parents or legal guardians. In such a case, it’s the responsibility of the adult completing the form to provide accurate and up-to-date information of the underage person they apply for.
When should I submit my form
The Italian Digital Passenger Locator Form should be completed with the required data before departing to Italy.
It’s best to complete the form 3 days before leaving for the planned trip to allow proper processing time.
Remember that to properly fill out the Italian dPLF, you must have all the essential details about your trip to Italy, e.g., a flight and seat number when going to Italy by air. Make sure that you have everything that’s needed before starting the application process.
