Discovering an error on your Aruba ED Card application after submission can be concerning, but it's a common situation that many travelers face. The good news is that most errors can be corrected, and understanding the proper steps to take will help ensure your travel plans remain on track.
The Aruba Embarkation and Disembarkation (ED) Card is a mandatory digital immigration form required for all travelers entering Aruba. Because this document contains critical information used by immigration authorities, accuracy is essential. Errors in passport details, travel dates, or personal information can potentially cause delays or complications at the border.
In 2026, the ED Card system has become more streamlined, but it's still important to address any mistakes promptly. Whether you've noticed a typo in your name, entered incorrect travel dates, or provided wrong accommodation details, there are specific procedures to follow for making corrections.

Travel with your corrected confirmation email (digital or printed) and be prepared to explain any discrepancies if asked.
Common questions about fixing ED Card errors
No, you cannot directly edit an ED Card application after it has been submitted. The system does not provide an edit function for submitted applications. However, you can submit a new application with the correct information, which will effectively replace the incorrect one.
When you submit a new application, make sure to use the same email address and bring the most recent confirmation when traveling to Aruba. Immigration authorities will have access to your latest submission.
Even small typos in your name should be corrected, as your ED Card information must match your passport exactly. Name discrepancies can cause delays or complications at immigration, even if the error seems minor.
Submit a new application with your name spelled exactly as it appears on your passport. This includes proper capitalization, spacing, and any special characters. It's better to take a few minutes to correct this now than to face potential issues at the border.
Common Name ErrorsNo, there is no fee to submit an Aruba ED Card application, whether it's your first submission or a correction. The ED Card system is free to use, so you can submit as many applications as needed to ensure your information is correct.
However, be cautious of third-party websites that may charge fees for ED Card services. Always use the system to avoid unnecessary charges.
You can submit a corrected ED Card application at any time before your travel, even on the day of departure. The system typically processes applications within minutes, so you should receive confirmation quickly.
However, it's always better to correct errors as soon as you discover them rather than waiting until the last minute. This gives you time to verify the correction was successful and to contact support if you encounter any issues.
Application Timing GuideIf your travel dates have changed, it's recommended to submit a new ED Card application with the updated dates. While minor date discrepancies may not prevent entry, having accurate travel information helps immigration authorities and ensures smooth processing.
Submit your new application with the correct arrival and departure dates. Keep the confirmation email and bring it when you travel. If questioned at immigration, you can explain that your plans changed and you submitted an updated application.
No, multiple submissions will not cause problems. Immigration authorities understand that travelers sometimes need to correct information or update their applications due to changed plans. The system is designed to handle multiple submissions from the same person.
When you arrive in Aruba, immigration officers will see your most recent submission. To avoid any confusion, bring the confirmation email from your latest, corrected application and be prepared to explain that you submitted a correction if asked.
