Please note! The Passenger Locator Form is no longer required for visiting Italy. The applicable Covid-19 entry requirements changed, eliminating the need to fill out the Passenger Locator Form before departure.

The Italian Passenger Locator Form is a digital public health form introduced due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic by the Italian Government on the 1st of July, 2021.

The Digital Passenger Locator Form for Italy provides the country's health authorities with the essential contact information of the incoming visitors.

This helps the Italian Government in tracking the possible infections and protecting both Italian citizens as well as foreign visitors. Should any of the travelers get infected, their co-passengers will be informed, and appropriate action will be taken.

The Italian dPLF is available for all travelers online and can be easily filled out using any working device with a stable internet connection.

Once the form is submitted, each applicant receives their dPLF in PDF format, along with the issued unique QR code necessary to enter Italy without any issues.

Who needs to fill out the Italian PLF

The Digital Locator Form for Italy must be filled out by every person wishing to enter Italy via any means of transport. The only exception within the means of transport is domestic flights.

Moreover, countries listed in lists A and B, provided by the Italian Government, do not need to fill out the EU PLF to Italy prior to arrival.

Do children need the Italian PLF?

Children also need the Italian PLF upon traveling to this country. However, the application can be submitted by the underage traveler's parents or legal guardians.

If children under the age of 18 should travel to Italy alone, their parents or guardians should fill the form on their behalf before their arrival.

If children are accompanied by their parents or guardians while traveling, they should be included in the responsible adults' form.

Information to provide in the Italian dPLF

• the transportation type to be used (railway/bus/car/airway/sea/or other)
• personal data (such as name, surname, date of birth, ID card, passport number, telephone number, email address, permanent and temporary address)
• one's travel companions
• the emergency contact information
• details of the planned trip (dates of arrival and departure, further details regarding the selected transport type, such as a flight number, seat number, selected point of entry)

Covid-19 restrictions in Italy

As most countries now, Italy has changed its entry rules to adjust to the current situation, implementing a number of safety precautions.

One of the main changes is introducing the Digital Passenger Locator Form that must be filled out by every incoming visitor to Italy.

The health form gives the Italian health authorities the necessary information that can, later on, be used in case of an emergency or possible Covid-19 infection.

Another significant change introduced due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is dividing the foreign countries into several lists. Each list states whether or not citizens of the countries included can enter Italy and on what rules.

Currently, the Italian Government has divided foreign countries into 5 lists; A to E. List A and B consist of countries with the lowest rates of infections and risk. In contrast, the D and E lists state which destinations are banned from visiting Italy/need to meet special requirements to visit.

Countries listed in the list C can enter Italy only after presenting the completed PLF and an appropriate certificate of either:

• being fully vaccinated (with one of the four approved vaccines)
• recovery from Covid-19
• a negative result of either an antigen or molecular test

Travelers who do not comply with the current rules and regulations applicable upon entering Italy must undergo a 5-day self-quarantine period, followed by either an antigen or a molecular test or may be refused entry.

What happens after filling the Italian PLF?

Filling the Italian PLF form online is followed by an email containing the completed form in PDF version along with an individual QR code.

This document must be presented upon arrival in Italy, either in electronic or paper form. Travelers are advised to print the delivered PLF for Italy in case of any technical issues with their devices.
