Nova Scotia Safe Check-in Form

You need to complete a Safe Check-in Form before you travel to Nova Scotia. This includes Nova Scotia residents who travel outside Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador or Prince Edward Island and are returning to the province.

What you need to know

Each adult (18 or older) must complete their own form. You can include someone under 18 who is travelling with you on your form if you’re staying together at the same Nova Scotia address.

If you’re 16 or 17 and travelling alone, you can complete your own form (your parent or guardian can also complete the form for you). A parent or guardian needs to complete the form for someone 15 or younger who is travelling alone.

After you complete the form, you’ll receive a confirmation email (you need show this when you arrive at the border). Your confirmation email will include any self-isolation requirements, travel protocols and required identification documents that you need when you arrive in Nova Scotia.
