Apply for a Global Entry Card

I met Barbara in 2004 when I went to Turkey on my own. Barbara lives in Seattle and was traveling with a friend and she and I hit it off! Soon we were traveling all over the world. We went to Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, New Zealand and some local trips over the years. She wrote me about the Golbal Entry procedure to bypass the lines at the airport. Check out the procedure to be used to apply and then get approval for the Global Entry card.

Almost a million times each day, CBP officers welcome international travelers into the U.S. In screening both foreign visitors and returning U.S. citizens, CBP uses a variety of techniques to assure that global tourism remains safe and strong. Descriptions of CBP processes and programs are available for first-time and frequent travelers.

CBP's Trusted Traveler Programs provide expedited travel for pre-approved, low-risk travelers through dedicated lanes and kiosks.

Before you apply, make sure you are eligible for Global Entry.

It’s easy. Just follow these steps:

• Create a Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) account. Regardless of your age, you must have your own TTP account.
• Log in to your TTP account and complete the application. A $100 non-refundable fee is required with each completed application.
• After accepting your completed application and fee, CBP will review your application. If your application is conditionally approved, then your TTP account will instruct you to schedule an interview at a Global Entry Enrollment Center. Each applicant must schedule a separate interview.
• You will need to bring your valid passport(s) and one other form of identification, such as a driver’s license or ID card to the interview. If you are a lawful permanent resident, you must present your machine readable permanent resident card.
