Key Features
Profile Creation
Create and save your travel document and biographic details once. This allows for quick profile setup for future trips, saving time on subsequent entries and ensuring accuracy.
Group Submissions
Add details for up to 11 other eligible travelers to your profile. This is useful when traveling with family or friends, as one person can manage the submission for the entire group.
Digital Inspection
Complete your CBP inspection questions and submit your information digitally before or upon arrival. This can streamline the process, leading to a faster inspection by an officer.
Editor's Notes
- The app requires a stable internet connection for submission and receipt of the virtual ticket. While it aims to speed up the process, actual wait times can still vary based on location and peak travel periods.
- Ensure all traveler information is accurate and up-to-date to avoid any issues during the inspection process. The app functions as a pre-screening tool, and a CBP officer will still conduct the final inspection.
