What you get with every Global Entry application

Every tier includes the same core service. Higher tiers add priority preparation and dedicated support.

1

5-year history forms completed

CBP requires every address you've lived at and every job you've held for 5 years. Our wizard makes this manageable with auto-save and gap detection.

2

Background check paperwork

We prepare the disclosures (criminal history and immigration questions) in plain language, with help text for every question.

3

Interview scheduling

After CBP conditionally approves you, we find available slots at the closest Global Entry enrollment center and help you schedule your in-person interview.

4

PreCheck activation

Your Known Traveler Number works for both Global Entry (international) and PreCheck (domestic) automatically, with no separate enrollment.

Pick your service level.

Two tiers. Both include TSA PreCheck activation.

Here's how it works.

Four steps. Most customers complete the first three in under 30 minutes.

1

Eligibility check

We confirm you have a valid passport (required) and answer a few quick questions. No payment yet.

2

Pick your tier and pay

$69 standard or $129 priority (faster interview + dedicated support).

3

Complete the application

Our wizard walks you through 10 sections. The 5-year history is the longest part, so we save your progress so you can come back.

4

Conditional approval, then interview

After CBP processes your application (usually 2–4 weeks), you'll get conditional approval. We find you an available slot and help you schedule your interview, you go in for fingerprints, and you're done.

Common questions

Global Entry. General questions →

Global Entry vs. TSA PreCheck: which is better?
Global Entry does everything TSA PreCheck does (expedited domestic security screening) and adds expedited U.S. customs and immigration when you fly back into the country. Because a Global Entry membership includes PreCheck at no extra cost, it's the better choice for anyone who travels internationally, and our service fee is $69 either way. PreCheck alone makes sense only if you never fly internationally.
Do you handle Global Entry renewals?
No. We only prepare new Global Entry applications. We don't handle renewals.
Do I really need a passport for Global Entry?
Yes, and it must be valid with at least 6 months remaining. If your passport is expiring, renew it first (we can help with that too). Without a valid passport, CBP won't approve your Global Entry application.
Why does the 5-year history matter so much?
CBP runs a federal background check that cross-references where you've lived, worked, and traveled. Gaps or inconsistencies in your history can flag your application for additional review or denial. Our wizard checks for gaps automatically and alerts you before submission.
How long does the whole process take?
Conditional approval from CBP usually takes 2–4 weeks. Then the in-person interview adds another 2–8 weeks depending on availability at your local enrollment center. Plan for 2–4 months total. Higher tiers include more help with interview scheduling, but CBP's review time is fixed.
What's the criminal history question really asking?
CBP requires you to disclose any arrests or convictions in any country, including charges that were dismissed or expunged. Honesty is critical. They'll find it in the background check anyway, and lying is automatic disqualification. If you have past arrests, we recommend disclosing them with brief context, since most non-violent issues don't disqualify you.
Can I get Global Entry if I'm not a U.S. citizen?
Yes. Lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) and citizens of certain partner countries (Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, India, Mexico, Netherlands, Panama, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK) can apply. Our wizard checks your eligibility before you pay.
What happens at the interview?
10–20 minutes. CBP officer reviews your application, takes fingerprints, takes a photo, and may ask a few clarifying questions. Bring your passport and a second form of ID. Once approved, your KTN works immediately for both Global Entry and PreCheck.

Skip the customs line. Get PreCheck included.

Two services for the price of one. Most customers finish the application in 25 minutes.
