If you are a member of Global Entry, the Global Entry mobile app is your best helper! It allows you to complete the check-in process with your mobile phone at supported airports, which saves a lot of trouble. Just take a photo of yourself and upload it for verification. It's super easy! However, remember that this must be done at the airport, and then save the receipt and show it to the official when entering the country. Otherwise, you have to go to the site and use normal channels to get it done! Don't forget that this app does not support registration, so friends who have not registered still need to use other methods to pass the customs! In short, it is a little artifact that saves time and effort!
Imagine you just got off the plane, dragging your suitcase, and preparing to leave the airport in a hurry. Hey, I have good news for you. The Global Entry mobile app allows you to handle immigration procedures on your mobile phone, which is simply a blessing for lazy people! (Of course, the premise is that you have to be an active member of the Global Entry program.)
It’s actually very simple. Just select the terminal you will land in at the airport and upload a recent selfie for CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) to check. But remember, all this must be done in the terminal, otherwise it will be a waste of effort.
After submitting successfully, you will receive an electronic voucher, and then you can go to the customs officer at the entry point to show it. Of course, they may also ask you to show some travel documents, don’t be bothered.
If this app doesn’t work, you can still go to the fixed immigration portal to continue the procedures. By the way, if you don’t join the Global Entry program at all, don’t even think about using this app. It is not responsible for registering you for Global Entry.
You can either wait in line or download the free CBP Mobile Passport Control App to try it out. So, next time you are on a business trip or traveling, remember to use this app. Saving time means saving money. You know~
