What is Mobile Passport?
Mobile Passport is a revolutionary app that's transforming the way travelers experience airports. With Mobile Passport, users can breeze through customs by submitting their passport information and customs declaration form on their smartphone. This means no more waiting in long lines or filling out tedious forms by hand. By using Mobile Passport, travelers can save valuable time and reduce the stress of navigating a busy airport. Additionally, the app is free to use and accepted at 30 major U.S. airports and one cruise port. With its ease of use, convenience, and time-saving benefits, Mobile Passport is quickly becoming a must-have app for any frequent traveler.
Mobile Passport enables U.S. citizens and Canadian visitors to expedite their entry into the United States by submitting their passport and customs declaration form via their mobile devices. Upon arriving at the airport(I usually fill out the form on the plane and submit once I land), travelers can use the app to complete their declaration form and receive a digital receipt with a barcode. They can then proceed to the Mobile Passport Control express lane(Usually located next to the Global Entry line), where they will be able to scan their barcode and present their passport to a Customs and Border Protection officer. The process is quick and easy, and when the lanes are open it will save travelers valuable time during the customs and immigration process.
I absolutely love using Mobile Passport when traveling with my family! The ability to add more than one traveler to the declaration form makes it incredibly easy to navigate customs and immigration as a group. On my last trip home, I had a great experience with the app. A fellow travel agent and I arrived at the airport at the same time, but while she used Global Entry, I opted for Mobile Passport. To my surprise, I was able to clear customs before she did! The app definitely saved me time and hassle, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and easy way to navigate customs and immigration when arriving in the United States.
