What to do if I made a mistake on my ESTA application?

The only way to solve such a problem is to submit a new application and pay for a new ESTA.
If your previous application was accepted, you should be able to submit a new one ESTA here.
Simply enter the application system and select “Submit ESTA”
The update function cannot be used to modify your passport or biometric data.
If your initial application was granted, the system won’t allow you to submit another until you close your browser after the initial attempt.

The previous application will be automatically canceled after you submit the new one.
