When selecting the “Sex” field in the ESTA application, applicants must choose the biological sex (male or female) as indicated in their passport.
If the sex entered in the application does not match the information shown in the passport, it may result in processing delays, approval errors, or issues during airline check-in or U.S. immigration inspection.
Therefore, it is important to carefully review the relevant section of your passport and ensure the information is entered exactly as shown before submitting the application.
Since ESTA application details are electronically linked to passport information, applicants must provide accurate information based solely on their official travel document rather than personal identification preferences or other records.
For proper submission, please complete your application in accordance with the required procedures through ETAPORTAL.
