Global Entry Trusted Traveler Program

other Countries Who Travel Internationally on a Frequent Basis
CBP Publication No. 0101-0409
Faster, Easier Entry into the U.S.
for Pre-Approved Travelers
Global Entry was developed to expedite international air
travel by providing an alternative passport control process
for pre-approved travelers – which means you don’t have
to wait in line anymore. Interested individuals apply online, are
pre-screened for eligibility and are interviewed in person by
a CBP officer. Once accepted into the program, participants
can use self-serve kiosks (located in the U.S. Arrivals area of
designated airports) that confirm biometric information
(e.g., fingerprints) and read their machine-readable passports.
Who Qualifies?
Only U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents of the U.S. and
citizens of certain other countries are eligible to participate in
the Global Entry program.
Travelers may NOT be eligible if they:
• Have ever been convicted of a criminal offense in
any country;
• Have ever been found in violation of the customs,
immigration or agriculture laws or any serious
criminal offense;
• Provide false or incomplete information on their
application; or
• Fail to meet Global Entry program requirements.
Note: Children under the age of 14 are not eligible to participate.
Children between the ages of 14 and 18 will require written consent
of a parent or legal guardian.
How Do I Apply?
Qualified individuals may apply for participation in the Global
Entry program at www.globalentry.gov. First-time visitors
must set up a user account, complete the application and
submit it electronically.
Note: If you do not provide true, accurate, and complete information
in your Global Entry application, we may deny your application.
What Happens at the Interview?
Once CBP has received and reviewed your application, you
will be prompted to schedule an in-person interview at one of
the Global Entry Enrollment Centers. When you arrive for your
interview, a CBP officer will review your application, interview
you to determine your eligibility, take your photo, and collect
biometric information. You must provide a valid machine-
readable passport and one other form of identification such as
a drivers license or identification card. If you are a permanent
resident of the U.S., you must provide your machine-readable
permanent resident card and one other form of identification
that supports your residency claim.
If you are accepted into the Global Entry program, CBP staff
will explain the terms and conditions of the program, and
demonstrate how to use the automated airport kiosk.
What Does it Cost?
A non-refundable processing fee of $100 per applicant will be
charged at the time of application. If approved, membership is
valid for 5 years.
How Do I Declare Goods?
As a Global Entry participant, you must declare all goods you
are importing into the United States, either by using the self-
serve kiosk or by going through a regular processing lane. You
will be required to answer the Customs Declaration questions
