US attestation form: print out and fill in?
I have been using the excellent KLM aerodoc online tool to assess what COVID paperwork I will need to go UK-AMS-USA next week.
For the outward journey, I need to fill in a US attestation form to confirm that I am fully vaxxed and tested.
But aerodoc seems to suggest I will need to print the PDF form out and fill it in by hand:
>Sign and handover a copy of this form to KLM gate staff at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS).<
The form is 7 pages long, even though most people will only need to fill in a couple of sections . The KLM gate staff will end up with a huge pile of paper on their desk!

The link on the aerodoc site sends you here, where you can download a 7-page PDF:

Does KLM supply a truncated version for their USA travellers?

I doubt any airline is allowed to use a truncated version of the CDC document unless they use an interactive online system that generates a printable version that only includes the applicable parts based on the passenger's responses, but they can apparently make minor adjustments and/or additions to the original CDC document.

They have paper copies at the gate for everyone to fill out (1 min work). Interestingly, last week they still let everyone sign the old form (which stated the testing 3 day before your flight instead of the 1 day revision since the beginning of december)

It seems this is a new version. But I flew to the US last week and used the old one (2 pages), nobody blinked an eye.

They have forms at the gate and lounges at AMS. Theres one form for US citizens and one for non-US citizens.
Airlines do not have to use the form provided by the CDC. It just needs contain the basics that CDC requires.
The links from the form section are to the 2 page form. Not sure what OP is seeing.

Form - Nationals and residents of the United States must hold a completed US Citizen or Immigrant (resident) Attestation Form and present it prior to boarding. Non-nationals and residents of the United States must complete and present a Non-US Citizen Non-Immigrant Attestation Form.

Thanks for the replies.
The 7 page version is accessible via a hyperlink in the TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS section. I will use the 2 page version at AMS.
For the UK-AMS leg, Aerodoc also mentions a quarantine declaration form. Is this required if I am fully vaxxed, tested and in-transit? Is it the same as the Dutch health declaration form I have heard mentioned on forums?

- Form: Passengers must complete a quarantine declaration form either in digital or paper format.

I don't bother with printing these before travel. An airline might say please use our form instead and then I would have to fill it out again anyway.

Are you think of the NL quarantine declaration? This must be filled out even if transiting.

What quarantine declaration? Its one form that you attest compliance with CDC order. AFAIK there's no quarantine order in US. Foreigners must be vaccinated to enter unless an exception applies.

Thank you for the information. I'm an American citizen living in The Netherlands and read on a dutch site that I would have to show the quarantine declaration in America and another one when going back to The Netherlands. Some information was very unclear but I figured out enough to get back to the States. I'll worry about the rest when I get ready to fly back.
Again, thank you so much for your help!

On way back from US you'll be asked to fill out the quarantine declaration, even if exempt from quarantine under NL rules. (You simply state you're exempt on it)
