Global Entry App Update: Streamlining Your Travel Experience This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time of travel, and as we wrap up the year, some exciting updates are making international journeys even smoother. One such update, effective December 2024, is the expansion of the Global Entry mobile app.

For those who have Global Entry, you'll be pleased to know that the service's mobile app is now available at nearly all U.S. international airports where Global Entry is offered. This means you can now use your phone to take your own picture for facial recognition instead of using the traditional kiosk. Once you’re verified, you can head straight to the immigration officer, bypassing the kiosk, and proceed to baggage claim faster.

This new feature streamlines the entry process, making it even more convenient for frequent travelers to get through immigration with minimal hassle.
