Essential Guide to EVUS Registration for US Travel

Your Essential Guide to EVUS Registration for US Travel

From September 30, 2025, every update to the EVUS registration for US visas will incur a fee of $30. However, you can still update your EVUS registration for free! If you plan to travel in the next two years, taking the time to update your registration now can save you money. For families holding B1/B2 visas, registering a new EVUS before traveling to the US is necessary. Typically, the EVUS is valid for two years or until your passport or visa expires, whichever comes first.

Step-by-Step Guide to Update Your EVUS

Follow these detailed steps to successfully update your EVUS registration:

1. Visit the Official EVUS Website: Go to evus.gov. Select 🇨🇳 中文 in the upper right corner for easier understanding.
2. Select New Registration: Click on “新登记申请” for a personal registration.
3. Confirm Your Intent: Check “是的” and click next.
4. Fill In Your Details: Enter your identity/documents information, including the 8-digit B1/B2 visa number found in red at the bottom right of your US visa. Note⚠️: If you’ve changed your passport and the visa is in your old passport, fill in both old and new passport information.
5. Check Your History: If you’ve registered within the last two years, you’ll see a prompt. You can still select “继续新的登记申请,” as this will ensure you’re covered for a longer period.
6. Input More Information: Complete the registrant’s information and travel details. If you’re unsure about anything (e.g., contact person details), feel free to input “UNKNOWN.”
7. Answer Eligibility Questions: Choose “不是” for all qualification questions.
8. Review Your Submission: Ensure all information is correct. Don’t forget to check the box indicating you are the applicant.
9. Submit Your Application: After confirming all information, remember to submit your application!
10. Check Status: After submission, you can check your EVUS status. The website states updates will occur within 72 hours, but you can typically see approval within a day. Look for the status “登记成功” and remember to download the PDF to save a record.
