CBP Starts Offering Global Entry Enrollment on Departure
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced on Monday that they will start offering interviews to conditionally approved Global Entry applicants departing the United States from Washington Dulles International Airport.
While Enrollment on Arrival is already available at several participating airports upon return to the U.S. from international travel, Dulles becomes the nation’s first airport to offer Global Entry “Enrollment on Departure.” Enrollment on Departure is not available for travelers departing Dulles airport on domestic flights. You can also schedule an interview without having to travel internationally.
CBP’s Enrollment on Departure is located inside the B concourse at gate B41 in Dulles airport. CBP officers will staff this office from 12 p.m. through 8 p.m. each day. Conditionally approved applicants should arrive earlier to Dulles airport to allow ample time to complete this interview process before their international flight departs.
In addition to the travel document, such as passport, the conditionally approved applicant will need a physical document providing evidence of residency, for example a driver’s license, mortgage statement, rental payment statement, utility bill, or other document that shows a current address. This is not required for minors. Interested applicants will also need to possess an airline ticket proving their international flight.
What is Global Entry
Global Entry allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival to the United States. Global Entry members submit their U.S. admissions on touchless portals or on CBP’s new Global Entry mobile application. Last year, over 14.8 million trusted travelers used the Global Entry touchless portals and Global Entry mobile app upon arrival to the United States.
The Global Entry program currently has over 12.7 million members and is operational at 77 U.S. airports, including 14 CBP Preclearance locations. CBP processed 3.8 million applications to trusted traveler programs last year, a new record.
How Much Does Global Entry Cost?
A $100 one-time fee is required with your Global Entry application and must be paid at time of application submission through the Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) system. You can pay by credit card or through an electronic bank transfer. But, it’s worth mentioning that many credit cards offer complimentary Global Entry. The membership lasts for five years.
