Global Entry

Global Entry is a CBP-operated, members-only program that allows expedited clearance for low-risk travelers.  Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program prior to flying. All applicants must possess a U.S. passport or permanent resident card, pay a non-refundable $100 application fee, undergo a rigorous background investigation with fingerprint check, and complete an in-person interview with a CBP officer. Global Entry membership is good for five years. Global Entry kiosks are available in BWI Marshall Airport’s immigration hall. Please visit www.globalentry.gov for more information and to submit an application online.

The enrollment center at BWI Marshall Airport is located on the lower level of the international terminal.

Saturdays & Sundays – Closed

Mobile Passport Control (MPC)

Mobile Passport Control (MPC) utilizes an app on your smart phone to help you breeze through customs. MPC is available to U.S and Canadian citizens only. Download the MPC mobile app and set up your personal profile prior to flying. For each international return, use the app to enter your return flight information and answer the standard customs declaration questions. Once you land at BWI Marshall Airport, hit send and CBP will provide an electronic receipt to your phone. Follow the light blue MPC exit lane located in the immigration hall. The MPC app and its use are free. For more information on Mobile Passport Control visit https://mobilepassport.us/
