00:00:00.083 --> 00:00:00.751
Hi there!

00:00:00.751 --> 00:00:04.338
My name is Dan and I’m a U.S. Customs
and Border Protection Officer.

00:00:04.338 --> 00:00:06.924
Soon you’ll be landing
so let me be the first to say,

00:00:06.924 --> 00:00:08.842
“Welcome to the United States”

00:00:08.842 --> 00:00:11.386
and to those who live here,
“Welcome home.”

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.264
The primary mission of CBP
is to keep you safe

00:00:14.264 --> 00:00:16.642
and to secure our country’s borders
from threats.

00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:20.270
One way we do that is by using
innovative new technology

00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:24.274
to help simplify processing
international travelers through CBP.

00:00:24.274 --> 00:00:26.068
- How are you today?
- Oh, very good.

00:00:26.193 --> 00:00:28.070
- Depending on your citizenship,

00:00:28.070 --> 00:00:31.448
there are a few types of self-service kiosks
you may be able to use

00:00:31.448 --> 00:00:33.075
when you arrive at the airport,

00:00:33.075 --> 00:00:35.661
and even a mobile app
that I’d like to walk you through.

00:00:35.827 --> 00:00:38.205
When you reach the international
arrivals terminal,

00:00:38.205 --> 00:00:41.333
you will see signs for two types
of self-service kiosks.

00:00:41.416 --> 00:00:45.337
The first is Automated Passport Control,
and the other, Global Entry.

00:00:45.337 --> 00:00:48.090
At first glance,
the kiosks might look similar,

00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:50.175
but they have
some important differences.

00:00:50.175 --> 00:00:54.513
First, let’s talk about
Automated Passport Control – or “APC.”

00:00:54.513 --> 00:00:58.809
APC kiosks do not require any pre-registration
or background screening,

00:00:58.809 --> 00:01:00.936
and there is no fee
to use the kiosks.

00:01:01.103 --> 00:01:03.188
All you have to do
is scan your passport

00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:05.148
and follow the prompts
on the touch screen.

00:01:05.232 --> 00:01:07.776
United States citizens, Canadian citizens

00:01:07.776 --> 00:01:11.405
and international visitors
traveling on a B-1 or B-2 Visa

00:01:11.405 --> 00:01:14.408
are eligible to use the APC kiosks.

00:01:14.408 --> 00:01:16.201
Foreign visitors can also use APC

00:01:16.201 --> 00:01:18.370
if they have previously been admitted
to the U.S.

00:01:18.370 --> 00:01:21.331
under the Visa Waiver Program
with a valid ESTA

00:01:21.331 --> 00:01:25.085
and who has visited the U.S.
at least once since 2008.

00:01:25.669 --> 00:01:29.047
You can also use APC kiosks
as an individual traveler

00:01:29.047 --> 00:01:32.843
or as a family unit if members of your group
all reside at the same address.

00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:34.052
And remember,

00:01:34.052 --> 00:01:37.848
thanks to APC, you don’t need to fill out
a Customs Declaration on the plane.

00:01:37.848 --> 00:01:40.017
You’ll do that right there
at the kiosk.

00:01:40.017 --> 00:01:43.020
Now, all you have to do
is hand your printed receipt and passport

00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:46.898
to a friendly CBP officer as part of
the inspection and interview process.

00:01:46.898 --> 00:01:48.442
- Thank you. Have a nice day.
- Thank you.

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:51.278
- Next, let’s talk about
the Global Entry kiosk

00:01:51.278 --> 00:01:54.072
and some of the benefits
including TSA PreCheck.

00:01:54.281 --> 00:01:58.827
Like APC users, Global Entry members
also use self-service kiosks

00:01:58.827 --> 00:02:01.496
but they must undergo
a background screening and interview,

00:02:01.496 --> 00:02:03.915
and pay a one-time $100 fee.

00:02:04.207 --> 00:02:06.710
There are two primary benefits
of membership.

00:02:06.710 --> 00:02:10.213
First, unlike APC kiosk users,

00:02:10.213 --> 00:02:12.924
GE members typically do NOT have
to present themselves for inspection

00:02:12.924 --> 00:02:14.593
to a CBP officer.

00:02:14.593 --> 00:02:16.178
And secondly,

00:02:16.178 --> 00:02:18.847
Global Entry members enjoy
TSA PreCheck benefits.

00:02:18.847 --> 00:02:19.639
- That’s right, Dan.

00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.143
TSA PreCheck includes expedited security
at checkpoints nationwide,

00:02:23.143 --> 00:02:24.728
including domestic flights.

00:02:24.728 --> 00:02:26.772
These are some serious perks
that will save you time

00:02:26.772 --> 00:02:29.441
whether you’re a frequent, international
or domestic traveler.

00:02:29.983 --> 00:02:33.236
- To apply for Global Entry,
visit GlobalEntry.gov.

00:02:33.236 --> 00:02:35.030
You’ll need to set up
an online account,

00:02:35.030 --> 00:02:37.991
and go through an interview process
at an enrollment center.

00:02:37.991 --> 00:02:40.369
CBP is also proud
to be a part of the first ever

00:02:40.369 --> 00:02:42.245
Mobile Passport Control App

00:02:42.245 --> 00:02:45.415
allowing eligible U.S. citizens
and Canadian visitors

00:02:45.415 --> 00:02:47.501
to submit their passport information

00:02:47.501 --> 00:02:50.587
and Customs Declaration form
prior to inspection.

00:02:50.587 --> 00:02:53.840
It can be done
via a smartphone or tablet

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.884
just after your aircraft lands
in the United States.

00:02:55.884 --> 00:02:57.636
The app is free
to download and use,

00:02:57.636 --> 00:03:01.723
and does not require pre-approval
or collect any new information from travelers.

00:03:01.723 --> 00:03:03.934
Users will experience
shorter wait times,

00:03:03.934 --> 00:03:06.561
less congestion
and faster processing.

00:03:06.561 --> 00:03:08.563
You can download the app
from the App Store

00:03:08.563 --> 00:03:11.191
and learn more about
the five simple steps for using it

00:03:11.191 --> 00:03:14.194
by visiting cbp.gov/travel.

00:03:14.945 --> 00:03:19.074
At CBP and TSA, we’re improving
to keep you moving.

00:03:19.950 --> 00:03:22.994
On behalf of the dedicated
officers nationwide,

00:03:22.994 --> 00:03:26.998
we hope you have a pleasant trip
and enjoy your time in the United States.
