Application Tracking

Track Declaration Status

[OFFICIAL ADVISORY] The Status Tracking function enables declarants to ascertain the current adjudication stage of a previously submitted Electronic Travel Authorization declaration. Access requires the unique reference number assigned at submission.

Accessing the Tracking Function

To retrieve the current status of a submitted declaration, the declarant must authenticate using the following credentials:

1.1

Application Reference Number — the unique alphanumeric identifier assigned at the time of submission (format: UK-ETA-2026-XXXXXXXX), transmitted via electronic correspondence upon receipt of the declaration

1.2

Registered Electronic Mail Address — the email address provided during the submission process, used for authentication and correspondence purposes

The declarant may also access the tracking function via the Portal Authentication, which provides access to the full application management interface.
