Re: ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization)

[George Michaelson <ggm at apnic.net>]

write your auth number down.

once you complete an app, the number is valid for 2+ years with  
modifications to travel plans each time, but, and this is a killer:  
the web app will NOT send you a reminder of your number, and if you  
'reapply' you get bounced 5 forms in.

if you can't remember it, there is no apparent way to recover the  
number. :-(

(I posted on risks about it)
