Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travellers upon arrival in the United States. Though intended for frequent international travellers, there is no minimum number of trips necessary to qualify for the program. Participants may enter the United States by using automated kiosks located at select airports.
At airports, program participants proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and make a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveller a transaction receipt and directs the traveller to baggage claim and the exit.
Travellers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and interview before enrolment.
