Do you know there is a free Mobile Passport Control is an official application?

Last Updated : 06/03/2024

What is a Mobile Passport Control (MPC) ?

Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is a mobile app that enables eligible travelers entering the United States to submit their passport information and customs declaration form to Customs and Border Protection via smartphone or tablet and go through the inspections process using an expedited lane. This aplication is Free.

 

※Entry is not guaranteed.

Please note that changes may occur without notice, so please check the official website here before use.

Who is eligible to use this app?

  • U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents
  • Canadian B1/B2 citizen visitors
  • Returning Visa Waiver Program travelers with approved ESTA

How does MPC work?

  1. Downloading the MPC Application from the  the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  2. Eligible travelers will be prompted to create a profile with their passport or LPR card information.
  3. Upon arrival at eligible Preclearance locations users must select their mode of entry in the application as “Preclearance” before selecting their departing Preclearance Port of Entry. If a traveler is not using preclearance, upon landing in the United States, travelers will select “U.S. airport” as their mode of entry and then select their arrival airport or seaport and terminal.
  4. Submit your customs declaration form through the app to receive an electronic receipt with an Encrypted Quick Response (QR) code. This receipt will expire four hours after being issued
  5. Travelers will then bring their physical passport to a CBP officer to finalize their inspection for entry into the United States.
  6. Cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity is required to send information, but travelers may complete profile(s) without being connected to the internet.

The steps are outlined. Please follow the steps when registering.

More details official website Mobile Passport Control.

Where can eligible travelers use MPC?

Please open the following PLACE on the official website.

MPC is currently available at the following 51 sites, including 33 U.S. International Airports, 14 Preclearance locations, and 4 seaports of entry:

as of 1st June 2024.

Important Information

  • Entry is not guaranteed.
  • The MPC does not substitute for the necessity of ESTA or a visa for entry into the United States.
  • For Global Entry members, travelers can use the Automated Entry Program only once per entry into the United States. Therefore, Global Entry Program members can either use MPC or the Global Entry kiosk, but not both.
  • MPC provides a more efficient in-person inspection between the CBP officer and the traveler. Since the administrative tasks are performed by the traveler prior to the passport control inspection, MPC reduces passport control inspection time and overall wait times.
  • Travelers will still be processed by a CBP officer. Travelers using MPC will be directed to a specific processing lane for a streamlined entry process.
  • Families can use MPC. Up to 12 profiles can be created for family members.

 

※This information is as of 1st June 2024.
