Edit Submission

What can — and can't — be changed after submission

U.S. CBP, not us, decides which fields are editable. The rules below come straight from the ESTA system. We do not charge a 'modification fee' for fields that CBP allows to be edited.

Editable
  • U.S. address while travelling
  • Email address and phone number
  • Emergency contact details
  • Travel itinerary (carrier, flight)
Not editable — requires new application
  • Passport number
  • Country of citizenship
  • Name as printed on passport
  • Date of birth or gender

These fields identify you to U.S. CBP. Any change requires a new application and a new government fee.

How to request a modification
  1. Email us with your application reference and the field to update.
  2. We submit the change to U.S. CBP using the standard endpoint.
  3. You receive confirmation when CBP records the update.

If your passport changes: a new ESTA is mandatory. The old authorization is tied to the old passport and cannot be transferred.
