Based on an email I received from the Maldives Ministry of Tourism on the 27th, passport number is no longer required.

Background:

I first emailed the Maldives Ministry of Tourism on the Oct 24th asking for confirmation of requirements (wanted to be certain given different circulars and locations referencing doctor signatures, passport #s , etc.) and they responded letting me know that signatures were no longer were required but that "...the passport number does have to be included as per the revised requirements". They referred me to Air Transport Circular AT 14/2020 Issue 03 which can be referenced here: http://www.caa.gov.mv/attachments/TT...Bs0UyceDVH.pdf

After calling around area clinics and being told "no we can't add passport # to your test results itself", I emailed the Ministry of Tourism again asking if it would be acceptable if our doctor hand writes our passport # onto the results and signs/stamps it. Their response was "We're pleased to inform you that the passport number is no longer mandatory to be included! If all the other requirements are complete then there should be no issues on arrival. We hope to see you soon on the sunny side of life, Thank you!"
