How to update an ETIAS authorization
Can an ETIAS authorization be modified?
No. Once issued, an ETIAS authorization cannot be modified.
Any major change (passport, identity, security) requires a new application.
When should I renew my ETIAS?
You must renew your ETIAS if any of the following information has changed:
Passport
- Different number (lost, stolen, renewal)
- Passport expiry (ETIAS becomes invalid)
Identity
- Change of surname or first name (marriage, adoption…)
- New nationality
Security
- Recent medical or legal history
When in doubt: what to do?
- Consult the relevant authorities
- Always keep an up-to-date copy of your ETIAS (digital or printed)
