CBP Launches Global Entry Mobile App at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport

The San Juan Field Office of U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced today the implementation and availability of the new Global Entry Mobile Application for approved members at the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport.

“The new Global Entry mobile application leverages the latest technologies, in order to enhance security while further improving the travel experience for CBP’s trusted travelers,” said Roberto Vaquero, director of field operations for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

With the new app, travelers simply take a photo as a “selfie”, which will be compared to a photo gallery to verify their identity through facial biometrics. After the photo has been submitted, the traveler will receive a receipt on the app. Once the traveler arrives to the primary inspection area, they can bypass the Global Entry portals and go directly to the CBP officers to efficiently process their entry into the United States by showing their mobile receipt, CPB said.

CBP said it will continue to evaluate and expand the use of the app at airports where Global Entry processing occurs in the future.

The app is free and will be available for download from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store beginning on Feb. 20, 2024.
