Global Entry - What are you waiting for?

HSV now has a Global Entry Office at the airport.

Quick Facts about Global Entry:
  • Global Entry includes TSA Pre✓®, but also offers travelers international travel benefits.
  • Global Entry has a fee of $100 (only $15 more than TSA Pre✓®)
  • Once granted, Global Entry is valid for five years.

GLOBAL ENTRY IS AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

  • There is no sign-in sheet upon your arrival. Please take a seat in a chair provided outside of the office and wait for an officer to call your name.
  • There will be limited seating available outside of the Enrollment Center and only those with appointments are asked to show up the day of your appointment.

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Members enter the United States through automatic kiosks at select airports including Huntsville International Airport.

At airports, program members proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingerprints on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and complete a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit.

Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a background check and in-person interview before enrollment.  Global Entry registration is available online and HSV has an office onsite where final interviews will be held.  The interview process usually takes about 15 minutes. Their office is located on the second floor of the terminal next to The Grille.
