A document must be presented proving that the PCR or TMA has been performed with a negative result. The document must be the original, be written in Spanish, English, French or German, on paper or electronic format and must contain at least the first and last name of the traveler, the passport or ID number, the date of the test, the identification and contact details of the test center, the technique used and the negative test result.

The identification document (DNI / passport) that appears in the Health Control Form must coincide with that of the PCR or TMA certificate.

In the event that the supporting document cannot be obtained in the aforementioned languages, the document must be accompanied by a translation into Spanish by an official body.

The health alert protocols established in coordination with the health authorities of the autonomous communities will be activated, in order to refer them to a health center or to the center they have established for their health care.
