Global Entry Includes Full TSA PreCheck ($120 for 5 Years)
Global Entry provides expedited biometric kiosk clearance when returning to the US from international trips (plus US Preclearance airports in Canada, Dublin, and the Caribbean) AND automatically includes TSA PreCheck for domestic and outbound departures.
Free CBP Mobile Passport Control (MPC) App
If you do not have Global Entry yet, download the official free US Customs & Border Protection MPC app. Upon landing at 50+ major US and Preclearance airports, submit your declaration in the app and use the dedicated MPC express lane—often nearly as fast as Global Entry.
Making Sure Your TSA PreCheck Indicator Prints on Your Boarding Pass
Always ensure your exact full legal name, date of birth, and 9-digit Known Traveler Number (PASSID) match your airline reservation before checking in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I complete my Global Entry interview when returning from an international flight?
Yes. Enrollment on Arrival (EoA) allows conditionally approved applicants to complete their interview at the CBP booth upon landing at 65+ international airports without an appointment.
Do children need their own TSA PreCheck or Global Entry membership?
For TSA PreCheck, children 17 and under can accompany a parent with PreCheck on the same reservation. For Global Entry customs lanes, every traveler—including infants—must have their own Global Entry membership (free for minors when a parent is enrolled or applying).
