Read more on the [CDC article](https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/fr-proof-negative-test.html).* *Last updated December 3, 2021* Currently, all international travelers returning to the US will need to show a negative COVID-19 test. Starting December 6th, the [test must be taken 1 day](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html#anchor_1635127081) before boarding your departure flight to the US. With the latest updates from the CDC, travelers are now permitted to self-administer a rapid antigen test under the real-time supervision of a telehealth service. This helps travelers avoid the need to find a test center abroad. This guide takes you through how Abbott's BINAXNow COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test works. **Please note that the BINAXNow COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test (see image below) is the only home testing kit currently approved for international travelers returning to the U.S.** Before you travel, you should verify that your specific airline accepts the results of this test. **Start planning your trip** Chat with a local specialist who can help organize your trip. [Get Started](https://www.kimkim.com/onboarding/traveler?article_id=home-covid-tests-for-international-travel&utm_content=inline_cta) ### Step 1: Order the Take Home Tests The tests can be [ordered through eMed](https://www.emed.com/products/covid-at-home-testkit-six-pack) (Abbott's partner) and comes in a pack of 6 test kits. The set of 6 test kits costs \$150 and can be delivered to most locations in the US within 48 hrs of ordering. The 6 kits are meant for 3 travelers. Each person has a spare, just in case one of the test results comes back as "inconclusive" and a retest is needed. [](https://cdn.kimkim.com/files/a/images/40811750b2f8eab46a163b40f296b8ec83d6768b/big-bd18f6916d3594da2662bbeaff800df8.jpg) Tests come in a pack of 6, good for 3 travelers ### Step 2: Register on the NAVICA app Download the NAVICA app on your phone and create an account. You will need an account for each person to be tested. The results will be delivered to the app after testing and attached to the specific profile. Kids under the age of 18, can be linked to their parents' account on NAVICA, however, you still have to set up a profile for each child to be tested. ### Step 3: Schedule the testing When you are ready to do the testing in destination, go to the website [emed.com](https://www.emed.com/app/login?redirect_to=%2Fapp%2Fstart-testing) and login with your NAVICA account. Once you answer some simple questions, the service then connects you with a real-time guide who will walk you through how to set up the test and the sample collections process. Note: There can be a long wait time to be connected with a technician. In our recent test, the wait was 1 hr and 15 minutes, however, more recent reports show the wait times have improved dramatically in recent days. Another option to reduce wait time is to switch to "Spanish" language, the wait time is significantly shorter there, and the technicians can still communicate in English to guide you through your test.

After the 15-minute wait, a new guide from eMed will come online and review your test results. The test results are then sent to your NAVICA account, and will also be sent to you as an email. [](https://cdn.kimkim.com/files/a/images/a84591c4b67fc0a9ed279a2a8452f5c4cc187a0a/big-d05c69916452ebac4b43ada068bc57f5.jpg) A guide will help you interpret the results ### Step 4: Provide results to the airline at check-in You will need to share the test results with the airlines at check-in time. Most airlines will take the results summary screen provided by the NAVICA app as the final test results. However, some airlines might require physical copies of the results, so it's good to double-check with your airline for specific requirements.
