Some websites offer to complete ESTA applications for a fee, often many times more than the required $14 fee charged by the US Government. Access and application through the official U.S. Government website are available to any passengers/visitors to the U.S. who qualify under the ESTA program. Prevention of such "ESTA fee scams" was made more difficult when the mandatory US Government fee was imposed, as previous public education efforts focused on getting out the message that ESTA applications were free of charge and anybody requesting payment was an unauthorized third-party. Third Party sites try to make themselves look legitimate by using official-sounding web addresses and posting logos that resemble the US government emblem. They may or may not contain a small disclaimer at the bottom of the page that says they are not associated with the US government.
