Since the primary purpose of ESTA is to inform the American authorities of your arrival, in order to guarantee the country&#8217;s security, the information requested is used to identify you. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Note <\/strong>: please make sure you have a biometric or electronic passport first. To find out, just look at the cover. There should be a microchip symbol under the title &#8220;Passport&#8221;. If this is the case, you can apply for an ESTA to travel to the United States with complete peace of mind. If not, you&#8217;ll need to apply for a new, more recent passport.    <\/p>\n\n<p>This page takes you through the various steps to help you get your ESTA authorization as quickly as possible.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE SIMPLIFIED ESTA FORM<\/h2>\n\n<p>You will first need to indicate :<\/p>\n\n<p>1. Your personal information<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>gender (male, female) ;<\/li><li>first name(s), last name(s), taking care not to reverse the order of entry ;<\/li><li>date, city and country of birth ;<\/li><li>nationality<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p>2. Your passport details<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>passport number<\/li><li>date of issue<\/li><li>the expiry date<\/li><li>country of issue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Please note <\/strong>: When entering your passport details, be careful not to confuse the date of issue with the expiry date of your passport.<\/p>\n\n<p>You will be asked to confirm your e-mail address twice. Unfortunately, if it&#8217;s incorrect, we won&#8217;t be able to send you your ESTA, which is only issued by the American authorities in electronic format. <\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, we will ask you to enter your bank details to finalize and validate your application. You will then receive your ESTA authorization electronically within 72 hours. <br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p>If you still have questions, or would simply like more information about ESTA, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esta-officiel-usa.com\/en\/esta-glossary-and-general-terms\/\">glossary<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esta-officiel-usa.com\/fr\/faq\/\">FAQ<\/a> pages are also available on our website.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can also contact our helpdesk with any questions you may have about your ESTA order on our online platform, and keep an eye on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esta-officiel-usa.com\/fr\/news\/\">latest news<\/a> on the subject.<\/p>\n\n<p>Enjoy your stay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HELP SECTION FOR EASY COMPLETION OF THE ESTA FORM Applying forESTA authorization is much less tedious and complicated than applying for a visa.
