Global Entry at a glance

What the program is, and who it is for.

What it does

Faster clearance through U.S. Customs and Border Protection when you arrive in the U.S. by air, using Global Entry portals or the Global Entry app.

Who can apply

U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents and citizens of select partner countries.

Also includes

TSA PreCheck at U.S. airport security, so you don't need to apply for it separately, and SENTRI lanes at the Mexico border once you register a vehicle.

Membership

Five years. Renewals go through the same government portal, and we remind you before yours expires.

How the application works

Five stages, from first form to approval.

Here is what the government process asks of you at each stage, and what our team does to help.

  1. Set up your accounts

    Applicants need a Login.gov account and a Trusted Traveler Programs account before the application can begin.

    How we help

    We walk you through the setup on your consultation call, with your permission, so the accounts are ready and correct.

  2. Complete the application

    The form asks for your addresses, employment and travel over the past five years, plus passport and identity details.

    How we help

    We complete it for you line by line and check every answer against your documents. You review it before anything is submitted.

  3. Submit and wait for review

    CBP runs a background check. Review times vary, and updates appear in the government portal.

    How we help

    We submit within 14 days of signing up, track your status and explain what each update means.

  4. Conditional approval and interview

    Once conditionally approved, you complete an interview at an enrollment center, or through Enrollment on Arrival when you land at a participating airport.

    How we help

    We help you choose the best interview option, find times that work and prepare a checklist of what to bring.

  5. Approval

    Approved members receive a Known Traveler Number and a membership card, and can start using Global Entry.

    How we help

    We show you how to add your Known Traveler Number to airline bookings and send your premium airport lounge membership.

Is Global Entry the right program?

Make sure it fits how you travel.

Global Entry suits you if you

  • Fly back into the U.S. from abroad at least once or twice a year
  • Want TSA PreCheck at U.S. airports as well
  • Are a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident or citizen of a partner country
  • Travel with family members who will apply too

Consider another option if you

  • Mostly drive across the U.S.-Mexico border. SENTRI may suit you better
  • Often cross the Canada border by car. NEXUS is applied for at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov

Global Entry questions

Common questions about Global Entry.

Does Global Entry include TSA PreCheck?

Yes. Global Entry members can use TSA PreCheck lanes at U.S. airports by adding their membership number to airline bookings as their Known Traveler Number.

Can children apply for Global Entry?

Yes. Every traveler needs their own membership, including children. We prepare family applications together. Each additional family member gets a family discount and their own premium airport lounge membership.

What is Enrollment on Arrival?

It lets conditionally approved applicants complete their interview when they land at a participating U.S. airport after an international trip, instead of booking a separate appointment.

What documents will I need?

Usually a valid passport, proof of address and, for permanent residents, your permanent resident card. We send you a checklist for your situation after your consultation.

Can you guarantee approval or speed it up?

No. Approval decisions and processing times are set only by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. What we do is make sure your application is complete and accurate, and that you never miss a step.

Are you part of the government?

No. GTIA Services is a private company. We are not affiliated with CBP, TSA or any government agency, and you can apply directly at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov.
