Not everyone needs to have their own statement. This applies, for example, to agents and employees of emergency services. Even if you return from abroad and travel home, you do not need to have a statement of your own, but you do need to show with other evidence that this is your reason for being on the street, such as with a ticket.
If you walk a dog, you do not need any other documents. Also in an emergency situation, for example if you flee from your home due to abuse, no personal statement is of course required.
You can print or fill in your own statement and employer’s statement digitally and have it with you. In this overview you can read who should have which documents. Here you can download the self-declaration.
How is it enforced?
The enforcement will be done by police officers, but municipalities may also boas the curfew from Monday have it maintained. For each region, it is examined who exactly is responsible for enforcement.
If a cop or boa determines that you are unjustly on the street, you will be fined 95 euros. There will not be a warning first. Violating curfews is not a crime and you will not receive a criminal record. If you enter false information on the required statements, it is a crime: this counts as forgery.
