Check Your Aruba ED Card Application Status

If you haven't received your confirmation email within a few hours, try these steps:

1. Check your spam/junk folder – Email filters may have redirected the message
2. Verify the email address – Ensure you entered the correct email during application
3. Wait a bit longer – Processing may take longer during peak travel seasons
4. Check all email folders – Look in promotions, updates, or other filtered folders
5. Add to safe senders – Whitelist the sender domain to prevent filtering

If you still haven't received confirmation after 24 hours, you may need to resubmit your application or contact support.

If you notice errors in your confirmation email, take immediate action:

• Minor spelling errors – Small typos in non-critical fields may not cause issues
• Passport number errors – Must be corrected immediately as this is critical
• Date errors – Wrong travel dates should be updated
• Name discrepancies – Your name must match your passport exactly

For significant errors, you'll need to submit a corrected application with the accurate information. Use the corrected version when traveling.

The confirmation email is the primary method for verifying your ED Card status. Currently, there is no separate online portal for checking application status using a reference number.

Alternative options:

• Contact the email address you used during application to request a resend
• Check with your airline – they may verify your ED Card status
• Submit a new application if you cannot locate your original confirmation
• Bring supporting documents to show you attempted to complete the ED Card

It's always best to keep multiple copies of your confirmation email to avoid these issues.

While most ED Card applications are processed within minutes, delays can occasionally occur:

Common reasons for delays:

• High volume of applications during peak travel season
• Technical issues with the submission system
• Incomplete or unclear information requiring review
• System maintenance or updates

If your application is taking longer than 24 hours, consider submitting a new application to ensure you have approval before your travel date. There is no penalty for submitting multiple applications.

You can present your ED Card confirmation either digitally or in print upon arrival in Aruba. However, it's recommended to have both options available:

Digital presentation:

• Save the email on your smartphone
• Take a screenshot for offline access
• Ensure your phone is charged
• Have the email easily accessible

Printed copy benefits:

• Works without battery or internet
• Provides a reliable backup
• Easy to present to immigration officers
• Can be kept with travel documents
