Who qualifies

U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and select foreign nationals with clean criminal and customs records.

The step-by-step roadmap

  1. 1

    Select the Right Program

    Choose between Global Entry (international travel plus PreCheck) or standalone TSA PreCheck (domestic flights).

    Watch out: Applying for TSA PreCheck alone does not include expedited international customs reentry.
    Common rejection reason: Choosing the wrong program based on your citizenship or travel patterns.
  2. 2

    Complete Profile and Background Details

    Fill out your 5-year employment and address histories accurately in the portal.

    Watch out: Do not omit past arrests, even if charges were dismissed, expunged, or occurred decades ago.
    Common rejection reason: Failing to disclose criminal incidents or agricultural/customs violations.
  3. 3

    Wait for Conditional Approval

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection screens your criminal, immigration, and customs records.

    Watch out: Processing times vary wildly from a few days to several months.
    Common rejection reason: Disqualifying offenses uncovered during federal agency data cross-checks.
  4. 4

    Complete Your Interview

    Schedule an in-person appointment or use Enrollment on Arrival when returning to an international airport.

    Watch out: Missing scheduled interview appointments can cancel your conditional approval.
    Common rejection reason: Inconsistent answers during the interview compared to your submitted application.
