How to authorise somebody to apply on your behalf

You can either apply for your ETIAS travel authorisation yourself, or you can nominate a third party – another person or a commercial intermediary – to do so on your behalf.

The third party will submit your application through the official ETIAS website or the mobile app.

Both you and the third party will need to sign a declaration of representation. It authorises the third party to compile and submit an ETIAS travel authorisation application

on your behalf, on behalf of a minor over whom you exercise parental authority, on behalf of a person over whom you exercise legal guardianship.

Make sure you keep a copy of the signed document in your files – it constitutes the proof that you have authorised somebody else to submit your application and that you have entrusted them with your personal data.

The third party should also keep a copy of the signed declaration of representation for the same reason.
