I would like to take a printed page rather than a code on my telephone. (My phone is too old). Once the information is sent how long do they take to e mail you back? Thank you.

We were catching the ferry and had to do the Passenger Locator Form at the hotel in Aranda de Duero.  The email back was pretty much instantly. There is an attachment with the email containing the QR code and the details you have supplied. It was 4 pages in all. The hotel was very helpful and agreed to print the attachments for us. I forwarded the email.  At Bilbao check in for the ferry there were lots of people passing their phones through their car windows  with the QR code on.

I wanted to find out about getting the form to go to Spain as we are on the boat about 33 hours. We are going on the Portsmouth to Bilbao service. Thanks

Yes that's what we did on Sunday ! Only 24 hours on the ferry though. Bilbao to Portsmouth. Stopped at a lovely hotel €60 for the night at Aranda de Duero. The Montermoso. It's near the motorway. Not too near ! The Receptionist printed the locator forms for us. I found it a bit stressful to be honest. We travelled the 350 miles to Aranda on Saturday and the 150 miles to Bilbao on Sunday morning.Found the port a bit tricky to find and I don't think we would have but for following the spoken directions on my phone. I couldn't get it on the car's satnav as it's in an un named road !

We are going from Portsmouth to Bilbao. We sail from Portsmouth  Wednesday at 23.00 hrs and get to Bilbao on Friday at 08.00 hrs. So I can submit the forms Wednesday morning and I need them back by mid day as we have to drive to Portsmouth. Thanks

Yes do it online. You could always do the form on the wifi on board the ferry and then produce the QR code. 

You need the QR and passenger locator form to board the ferry so you can't do it on the ferry. They check your documents before you board. If you haven't got all the documents at check in for Britanny ferries you will be turned away. This happened to people in a car just ahead of us.

I don't know the time frame for emails on this as you will need to do a Spanish locator form. I was doing a UK locator form. Would you let me know how you get on with this please as I have to do it when we go back to Spain ? Thanks !

I've never been asked for the QR code before leaving the country, only checked on entering. However I have only flown since the pandemic. I only had my QR code checked once and that was in the airport in Alicante. The qr code is produced fairly instantly.
