Global Entry is a program that allows pre-approved travelers to expedite the process of entering the United States.

To apply for Global Entry, you must be a citizen or national of the United States, Mexico, or Canada and have a valid passport. You can also be a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., Canada, or Mexico.

Once you have applied for Global Entry and been approved, you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete your interview appointment at any U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler Enrollment Center near you. Once your interview is complete, you'll receive an email containing your Known Traveler Number (KTN). This number will allow you to use automated kiosks at participating airports when arriving in the U.S., allowing you to skip lines and head straight to baggage claim!
