Family Traveling Together – Can One Person Submit All e-Arrival Cards?

Our family traveled from Australia recently, and I completed all six e-Arrival Cards using my email address.

The process was fairly straightforward because our travel itinerary and accommodation details were identical. The only information that changed was the individual passport details and personal information.

One suggestion I'd make is to complete the forms a day or two before departure rather than waiting until the last minute. That gave us enough time to double-check everything and download each confirmation.

As always, I'd still recommend reviewing the latest instructions from the official Indian authorities before your flight because digital travel requirements may be updated.

We flew from the UK with my parents and two children a few weeks ago. I handled all of the travel paperwork, including everyone's digital e-Arrival Cards.

From our experience, the important thing wasn't who submitted the forms—it was making sure each traveler had their own individual submission. Since every passport has its own details, each application generated a separate confirmation.

I kept PDF copies of all the confirmations in one folder and also took screenshots in case internet access was slow after landing.

Requirements can change, but based on our trip, there wasn't any requirement for each person to physically submit the form themselves.

We traveled from Canada in June as a family of four, and I completed all the digital e-Arrival Cards myself. My husband wasn't available when I filled them out, so I entered everyone's passport details one after another using the same laptop.

Each submission was separate because every traveler had their own passport, but there wasn't any issue with one person completing the forms on behalf of the family. I used the same email address for all of them, and each confirmation arrived separately.

At immigration, every family member was processed individually, but having all the confirmations saved on my phone made things much easier.

Just be careful when entering passport numbers and dates of birth. I reviewed everything before submitting because correcting mistakes later could be inconvenient.
