This really helped me when I left Italy to go back home to the United States😭💗🙏🏾! The regular line was so long! Like 200 people in front of me. But once I switched to mobile lane it was me and just 4 others. I was so happy

Convenient and helps passengers avoid the long lines....great information, well presented too....

Since you leaked this, all the lines have become significantly longer for MPC. I waited 45 min. in SFO.

@rlproctor4219 5 лет назад

What about if you have been on a cruise.... can you use it when you go thru customs at the Port when you get back after your cruise

+Wall Street Journal Does the Mobile Passport app work overseas for people coming from Mexico, Europe, Asia, or Australia?

@SuccessmarketingWEB 8 месяцев назад

Does that mean you can get to USA or do they still have to check if you're eligible to come in. For example I have a minor misdemeanor 10 years ago what do you think

@mrpeel3239 Год назад

Is there still a paid Plus version that allows you to store your info for future trips?

@GeniaBy Год назад

If u started filling out all the info while in plane mode , how come u have main photo like u at home? Is it smth to fill out prior to travel? Also does it replace my global entry? Or is it in addition?

@nothingtosee2686 5 лет назад

Great info! Thanks

returning from Seoul to Seatac airport, that government app failed to load picture of my passport. Basically useless as it ran down battery on my phone. It took over four hours to clear customs as long queues of newcomers were continually led to the front of the line and processed while the rest of us waited for hours. Next time I'm going to claim asylum and jump the queue.

@saadkhan8907 Год назад

Do this app requires Internet at airport to use or if we can fill up info in the app before departure?

@MHG790 6 лет назад

Does this work for non-US passports?

@olgashenfeld7882 5 лет назад

MHG only for U.S and Canadian citizens.

@MrChip-yl9uz 2 года назад

Is this app only for us citizens? What about permanent residents?

@kittybracio6883 5 лет назад

if you use mobile passport do you still have to submit your passport to the agent if you are scanning your phone in front of the agent or do you just scan your phone and not have to go to the agent's desk in the re-ntry country ariport and how far in advance can you enter the info and submit it?

@kwc7391 4 года назад

I am new to international travel. I have the Passport app, and TSA PreApproved. Do I first go through customs w/o my luggage with the app, then go pickup my baggage at the luggage pickup place from the plane, then go through customs again (so they can look through my luggage)? ALSO: Do I enter all the information (picture, Passport number ), before my trip so I will have it, or do it all at the airport. Not sure what they mean 4 hours it expires.

@sunmoon3711 4 года назад

TSA precheck is for when you go to a US airport to depart. It makes checking into the airport faster. The passport app helps in ARRIVING to the US from out of the country. When you arrive to the US you go through customs before your luggage. (This is where you use the app). If they deem you suspicious they’ll guide you to luggage claim and inspect it separately. If you pay for the app you can upload your passport info and it stays there. For the free version you have to add the information every time you travel. And it lasts 4 hours. Which means you have to add all the information right before landing (don’t need WiFi). And once you land you can connect to your data plan and submit the form and go to the designated line.

@qwertyalfa2757 5 лет назад

At SFO, we got the fastest customs run ever!

What if one person is a us citizen and the spouse is a permanent resident, can they both go through MPC together?

@onlinemath3072 Год назад

@abdulrahmanalabasi9904 Год назад

The app does give an option to select as us permenant resident or us citizen so yes

@ramflow8466 6 лет назад

Global Entry program might be an option.

@MAJ199 5 лет назад

Anybody try this at Boston Logan airport?

@AW4WAL 8 лет назад

The last time government technology made my life easier was just now, I payed my phone bill online; remember the internet, yes it was US government tech: GPS also helps me almost every day, just to name a couple. Reporters shouldn't do satire, especially in these days, it will backfire badly.

@darvinray1783 7 лет назад

does this work WITH the Global Entry?

@alonsopr1 3 месяца назад

Global Entry has a separate app

@vinniep3315 6 месяцев назад

So what if my wife’s with me ?

@lorderik237 7 лет назад

Is there any point to this if I have Global Entry?

@Reignunlimited 6 лет назад

lorderik237 I have global entry too.. GE is for sure your registered with CPB when you go to the kiosk. This app may fail or you lose your phone.. dead phone battery, No internet service and your on the back of the line with everybody else.. I'll use it as a back up that's all..but I'm keeping my GE.

@BooBoo-pu1jh 6 лет назад

Yes! This is in addition or supplement to Global entry. Using this app u don't have to fill out the paper form for customs. It gives u a receipt to ur phone. He said *all of this in this video*

@mcalisterhayes 6 лет назад

I tried to use mobile passport yesterday. It gave me an error that the info didn’t match the info from my passport.. BOGUS!! I scanned the passport INTO the app, how in the WORLD could it not match?!?!?

@sp8211 5 лет назад

With GE, you dont need to fill out your form. I go straight to the GE kiosk and fill it out there digitally, take the pic, and give the receipt to the CBP officer.

@shirkophobe 2 года назад

@@mcalisterhayes It scans it, but you always should check it and change it, if needed. With me, the scan for passport expiration was off by one day for whatever reason.
