PASSENGER DISCLOSURE AND ATTESTATION TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT OPERATOR DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT:
As required by United States federal law, all airlines or other aircraft operators must confirm either a negative
COVID-19 test result or recovery from COVID-19 and clearance to travel and collect a passenger attestation on
behalf of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for certain passengers on aircraft
departing from a foreign country and arriving in the United States.
Each individual 2 years of age or older must provide a separate attestation. Unless otherwise permitted by law, a
parent or other authorized individual should attest on behalf of a passenger aged 2 to 17 years. An individual
may attest on behalf of another passenger for whom the individual is authorized to submit the required
information (for example, immediate family member(s), legal guardian, or travel agent), if that person is unable
to attest on his or her own behalf (e.g., because of physical or mental impairment).
The information provided must be accurate and complete to the best of the individual’s knowledge.
Under United States federal law, each passenger must provide this attestation. Failure to provide this attestation,
or submitting false or misleading information, could result in delay of travel, denial of boarding, denial of
boarding on future travel, or put the passenger or other individuals at risk of harm, including serious bodily
injury or death. Any passenger who fails to comply with these requirements may be subject to criminal penalties
under, among others, 42 U.S.C. § 271 and 42 C.F.R. § 71.2, in conjunction with 18 U.S.C. §§ 3559 and 3571.
Willfully providing false or misleading information may lead to criminal fines and imprisonment under, among
others, 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Providing this information can help protect you, your friends and family, your
communities, and the United States. CDC appreciates your cooperation.
