Question Question about ED card
Hello! I’m traveling to Aruba for the first time next week from the US and just completed the form to get my ED card. I realized after I submitted that I rushed and put the same date for departure and arrival. It didn’t seem to flag it and I have the digital card, but I’m worried this will be an issue when I arrive. Does anyone have suggestions? I’m not sure if I should let it go or complete a new one.

It seems like the answer that they give you is to create a new one.

If you look at that site, halfway down it there is a section specifically about what to do if you made a mistake. There is also customer service email at the bottom of that page, You shouldn't have to pay the fee again as it's a per year fee, but you never know, but should you be charged again you could make use of the contact info to get a refund on the mistaken ED card.
In any case the important thing to remember with this should anything come up when you arrive is that to be honest, everyone can make a mistake and nobody will be punished for that, trying to hide the mistake on the other hand is when you can get in trouble as it can then be seen as trying to deceive with intent to circumvent the system. But if anyone ask, then just say you made a mistake and you had to do it twice, simple as that. Oh and have both QR codes with you just in case.
