ESTA etc for a baby

[SerpentQueenClaire]

Could someone please advise what documents are required for a baby travelling to the USA?

We have his passport and assume he needs his own ESTA? But I have also seen something about babies not being eligible for the visa waiver so now I'm a bit concerned.

All advice appreciated!

To the best of my knowledge, everyone needs an ESTA - including babies.

This is from the gov website...

Do I need to apply for an ESTA on behalf of my minor child?
Yes, accompanied and unaccompanied children (regardless of age) require their own independant ESTA prior to their travels to the U.S being a citizen of a visa waiver country.

Hope that helps!x

Yep he needs an ESTA - our DD has had once since a baby too!

Great, thank you. And so that acts as his visa thing or do I need to do/get anything else?

He just needs a valid passport and ESTA to travel.

You will have to complete your API with your airline as well.
