The Mobile Passport App

I just downloaded the app and completed my profile; the process was easy and I am hoping that it will work upon our return at the airport in Atlanta when going through Customs!  You can enter information for those who are traveling on the flight with you.  

If you don't have Global Entry, then this looks like a great substitute.  I plan to enroll in Global Entry, but at the moment, the only airport that has an enrollment center in North Carolina is Charlotte; you would need to apply first and once accepted, schedule an interview in Charlotte or at your nearest Enrollment Center (locations can be found on the website).

U.S. Customs and Border Control, CBP, launched Mobile Passport Control (MPC), the first authorized app to expedite a traveler’s entry process into the United States.  This app lets you skip the lines at certain US airports (and the list of airports is growing).  You complete  your profile information (which can be re-used for future trips)  and once you're registered you can go to the Mobile Passport Control Express Lane at the airport.  Current airports include: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Minneapolis, NY JFK, Newark, Orlando, RaleighDurham, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tampa (soon), and Washington Dulles.  

Click here to download the Mobile Passport App or just download on the App Store (Apple) or on Google Play.  Here are the steps listed on the website:

 

Step 1:
Set up your Profile

Enter your profile information as it appears on your valid, official passport. You can set up profiles for your entire family. Your information will be encrypted and shared only with CBP.

 

Step 2:
Answer a few questions

Answer CBP’s four brief questions about your trip. Then carefully review ALL of your information for the trip.
  
Step 3:

Submit To CBP

Once you land, connect to wireless or wi-fi and submit your data to CBP. Remember: when you submit, you are confirming under penalty of law that your information is correct. Within a few seconds, you will receive a CBP receipt with an encrypted barcode. Your receipt will be valid for 4 hours. 
  
Step 4:

Skip The Line & save time!

Follow the MOBILE PASSPORT CONTROL signs and skip the lines! Show your passport to the CBP officer and scan the barcode on the CBP receipt. And that’s it!
