Global Entry is an initiative of the Customs and Border Protection introduced in July 2011 that provides expedited immigration and customs clearance to pre-approved, low-risk air travels upon arrival in the United States to U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, Canadian citizens, Canadian landed immigrants, Mexican citizens, and Dutch citizens who are members of Privium,the Netheland trust travel program. Qualified applicants can complete one application and receive access to all modes of travel into the United States by using automated kioski located at selected airport. The program is placed at the following 24 international airports in the United States: Boston-Logon International Airport, Chicago O 'Hare International Airport, Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, George Bush International Airport, Hartsfields-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Honolulu International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, McCarran International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Miami International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Orlando International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, San Juan-Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, Orlando-Sanford International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Washington-Dallas International Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Denver International Airport, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
At the airports, program participants proceed to Global Entry kioskis, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and make a customs verification. The kioski issues the traveler a transaction receipt and direct them to baggage claim and exit.
