This form is also mandatory for all Italian citizens or residents in Italy who travel to a Schengen or non-Schengen foreign country. 

A copy of the form must be handed over to the Airport Border Police staff at the time of departure, before the security checks.  

Self-certification is not necessary for EU or non-EU citizens. 

Passengers of any nationality arriving in Rome must also complete the self-certification form.

The form can be downloaded directly from the website of the Ministry of Interior: (https://www.interno.gov.it/sites/default/files/allegati/modulo_autodichiarazione_17.3.2020.pdf). Those who do not have it may request it from the Airport Border Police staff present at the airport or at the information points and check-in desks at the airport terminals. 

In any case, passengers are asked to please contact their airlines to check their flight status.
