Last verified: 3 October 2026 · Independent guide · Not affiliated with any government

Your MDAC confirmation email contains a PIN. With it you can check and edit your registration before you arrive. Without it, the simplest fix is a fresh submission.

Who this is for: travellers who already submitted an MDAC and need to change, check or recover it.

Common situations

Lost the PIN

Search your inbox and spam for the MDAC email. If it's gone, submit a new MDAC before you travel.

No confirmation email

Check spam and promotions, and confirm you typed the email correctly. If nothing arrived, submit again.

Flight or date changed

Submit a new MDAC with the correct passport details to be safe.
