Types of Declaration Form

As mentioned previously, a declaration form can be applied in a number of different scenarios. It can serve several specific objectives. The following examples below describe just some of the most common types of declaration forms.

• Health Declaration Form. A health declaration form is one of the most widely-used types of declaration form. Especially at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, establishments had to require the general public to declare their health status. This was done in the interest of public health because anyone exhibiting flu-like symptoms could transmit the virus to other people. Whether it was at a medical clinic, a hotel or a restaurant, individuals and groups had to submit to a health screening as long as they were entering a public place. A list of predetermined symptoms were typically listed in a COVID-19 health declaration form. People simply had to tick checkboxes or occasionally declare their exposure or travel history.

• Customs Declaration Form. This type of declaration form is common and universal to the transportation, travel, and tourism industry. Most people will be asked to fill out a customs declaration form when they are traveling and going through airports, seaports, and other travel hubs. The document is important because it is used as a form of control and monitoring by authorities. And of course, the safety and security of the general public is the primary reason why customs declaration forms are mandatorily issued. Items that are brought into a country need to be screened for safety. Customs authorities and officials require travelers (usually international travelers) to declare the goods they are transporting or bringing in. Usually passengers are informed ahead about the different kinds of dangerous goods and prohibited exotic items.
• Tax Declaration Form. A tax declaration form is also a very common type of declaration form. All countries and states impose taxes on their citizens. And if you are a law abiding citizen, income statements and tax declarations are just part of standard protocol. You need to declare your tax status truthfully and accurately so the proper authorities can determine how much taxes are paid or owed. Individuals and companies normally file their taxes at a certain time of the year. This is done on an annual basis but it may vary depending on your country or state’s tax laws and requirements. Lastly, employees are also given a tax identification number or tax file number for a uniformed system and process. You can also see more on Consent Forms.
• Medical Declaration Form. A medical declaration form is a formal document that essentially covers or states an individual’s medical or health status. It is typically used by patients to disclose their medical history. Doctors and health providers may also instruct patients to fill out a declaration form for a host of reasons. If you are a patient, you need to be able to supply accurate and honest information disclosing the true state of your medical condition. A medical declaration form is usually prepared by the healthcare provider and has a specific format. It may also contain specific sections and subsections, depending on how detailed the declaration form is. Whether it is part of a pre-employment list of requirements or a prerequisite for travel, a medical declaration form should be taken seriously and should be filled up accurately and truthfully as much as possible.
