Public Health passenger locator form
This is a reminder of the UK Government’s measures to protect against the continued spread of Coronavirus.
Travellers entering the UK from outside of the common travel area must complete the Public Health passenger locator form unless exempt.
As a driver of a goods vehicle or other employee of a community licence holder for the international carriage of goods, you are not exempt from the requirement to complete the form.
You are, however, exempt from the requirement to self-isolate when arriving in the UK, regardless of what countries you have travelled from.
