Check that your ETIAS is still valid

Before traveling to Europe, make sure your ETIAS authorization is still valid. A simple check can prevent you from being denied boarding or entry.

Why check the validity of your ETIAS?

The ETIAS is linked to your passport and personal data. If it changes or expires, it automatically becomes invalid. Without a valid authorization, you cannot enter the Schengen area.

When do I need to do this check?

• Before departure: your ETIAS and passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay.
• After renewing your passport: your old ETIAS becomes invalid. A new application is required.

How do you know if your ETIAS is valid?

To find out the status of your authorization, follow these steps :

• Find the confirmation e-mail
  Check the expiry date, reference number and registered information.
• Access the official ETIAS portal
  Consult the status of your ETIAS (active, expired, cancelled) using your passport number.
• Check your passport
  It must be biometric and valid.
• Re-apply if necessary
  If your ETIAS has expired or your details have changed, you need to re-apply online.

Remember to save your ETIAS on your mobile phone or print it out to facilitate checks.
