USA ESTA query

davetrousers

I went to Florida last year, so on my ESTA I entered who I was flying with and where I was staying on the first night. Now this year I am going to California, my ESTA is still valid however I am slightly curious about it having the Florida details on it when I get to immigration in LA.

Has anybody else had this? Does it matter?

Many Thanks

Yes, you update it on line with the california details

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ on the right hand side of the green panel.

People have told me before that it doesn't matter and as long as the ESTA is still valid, then you can just go without changing the details - but I would always err on the side of caution personally and change the destination/stay details each time I go.

Just log in and amend it.

it's not mandatory according to the official...we never update my husband's, but can't hurt to do so.

Is it mandatory or necessary to update my ESTA with my travel/destination information if the information changes or if I use my ESTA for multiple trips?



It is not mandatory to change or update your travel dates, flight information or destination information on the ESTA application. The travel information is optional, and you can leave it blank. If you put in a date and time, and then your plans change, we ask you to correct the information, but you are not required to. Changing your travel plans will not affect your authorization to travel.
