Do you need to get a new ESTA when your passport is renewed?

8/17/2011 1:32:43 PM

I’ve found the answer in the DHS ESTA FAQ. The bad news is that if you renew your passport, you have to re-apply (and pay again) for a new ESTA:

What should I do if the information on my passport has changed?

If you obtain a new passport or there is a change to your passport information, you must apply for a new travel authorization and pay the associated fees.

There are a few things that you can update about your ESTA without having to re-apply, but they aren’t passport related. The list is:

  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number
  • Carrier Information
  • City where you are boarding
  • Address while in the United States
