Does passport expire? Can I apply for an ESTA? Current authorizations can not be extended. However, if your passport will expire in less than two years, your ESTA also will expire on the same date as your passport. An ESTA cannot be renewed.

Bear in mind that the ESTA application form includes a series of security questions that need to be answered honestly. Applying for a new ESTA is required when your passport has been reissued or the content of your passport (i.e., your name, gender, or nationality) has changed. ESTA expires two years from the date it was authorized. See full list on esta -center. You may apply for ESTA as many times as you like, even if considerable time remains before the expiration of your current ESTA.
When you apply for a new ESTA and is issued a new application number and expiration date, your previous ESTA information will be invalidated and only the information on your most recent ESTA application will remain in effect. Strictly speaking, there is no “renewal” system for ESTA. Since the procedures are largely the same whether or not your previous ESTA has expire the term “reapply” is used. Also, note that once you have applied for and received a new ESTA, your past ESTA information will not be recoverable for any reasons.

At the same time you apply for a new ESTA, past information will be deleted. (more…)
