Mobile Passport Control Skips Immigration Lines For Free

Mar 24, 2016
Daily

By now you’re familiar with Global Entry, the program that allows U.S. travelers to fly through immigration at the airport. Of course, with Global Entry, there’s a fee and an interview process.

Now welcome Mobile Passport Control, a new app for iOS and Android that lets you skip the lines at participating airports. You’ll need to download the free app and upon landing fill out a customs form, submit a selfie and get a QR code a Customs officer can scan with your passport.

It’s all free, and requires no interview. It doesn’t let you skip the lines completely, of course, but it does help you — and your fellow passengers — move through the system faster.

“Think of it like a tollbooth,” John Wagner of U.S. Customs & Border Control told Travel + Leisure. “Global Entry is your E-ZPass lane; this is your exact-change lane.”

So far, the app is available at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where it launched in 2014. It will roll out to 20 of the busiest U.S. airports this year.
