Hi,

I'm supposed to be travelling to the US this week.I have got approved for ESTA authorization but ran into a problem. On the site it says's your passport has to be an e-passport. I have a current UK passport issued in 2006. It is not an e-passport, it can be computer scanned, and I think it has one of the laminated pictures.I've heard of people travelling through on older passports but I'm unsure. Will I be stopped from travelling through? Or does anybody know my options? Thanks in advance.
