Quick answer
A renewed passport needs a new ETIAS
The authorisation is tied to the travel-document number and other document data. It does not migrate automatically when a passport is renewed or replaced.
Name, gender or nationality changes
If you replace your travel document to reflect a change in name, surname, gender or nationality, the EU says you need a new ETIAS linked to the new document.
Lost, stolen or damaged passport
If the passport linked to ETIAS can no longer be used and you receive a replacement document, apply for a new ETIAS using the replacement document.
What if the original application contains a mistake?
For substantial mistakes such as a wrong nationality, passport number, email or name, the EU says the quickest approach is generally to submit a new application with the corrected data. Minor corrections can also be requested but may take longer.
Do not assume that an ETIAS visible in an old email is valid for a new passport. The carrier check is document-specific.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transfer ETIAS to my new passport?
No. Apply for a new authorisation using the new travel document.
What if my passport expires before the three-year ETIAS period?
ETIAS expires when the linked travel document expires.
I changed only my address. Do I need a new passport-linked ETIAS?
Not every personal-information change requires a new travel document. Follow the official correction guidance for the specific change.
