Using the Global Entry Trusted Traveler Program to expedite their clearance upon arriving in the U.S., more than a million international travelers have already substantially reduced their travel time. Run by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the program streamlines the screening process at 25 U.S. international airports for pre-approved international travelers using biometric identification. Participants use automated kiosks to present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, use the scanner for fingerprint verification, and make a customs declaration.
