Completing the ETIAS form: information you need to know
To obtain an ETIAS authorization, you’ll need to fill in an online form with specific questions. Here’s what you need to know before you start.
Personal data to be entered
The form begins with the standard information about your identity:

This information must match your official documents perfectly.
Mandatory passport information
You must then enter :

For a minor, the information is the same as for an adult.
Purpose of trip and country of stay
The ETIAS online form asks you to indicate :
