U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the opening on Friday of a new Global Entry Enrollment Center at the Boise Airport in Boise, Idaho.
Global Entry, a CBP trusted traveler program, allows for easy and expedited clearance of pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Members are able to bypass the traditional CBP inspection lines and use an automated kiosk to complete their admission to the United States.
The Boise Enrollment Center is the first of its kind in Idaho.
“We are pleased to open a Global Entry Enrollment Center in Idaho for those hoping to join the trusted traveler ranks,” Brian J. Humphrey, director of CBP field operations in San Francisco, said. “The new enrollment center provides a convenient location for people in the area to complete their application process.”
The Global Entry program is very successful and has grown to 52 locations, including 11 preclearance locations outside the country. U.S. citizens who enroll in the Global Entry program automatically become enrolled in the TSA Pre✓™ for domestic travel program.
