Mobile Passport Control

U.S. Customs and Border Protection

4.9

Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is an official application created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that streamlines your CBP inspection process at select U.S. entry locations. Simply complete your travel information, answer CBP inspection questions, capture a photo of yourself and of each member of your group, and follow the instructions provided on your receipt.

Important Notes:
- MPC does not replace your passport; your passport will still be required for travel.
- MPC is only available at supported CBP entry locations.
- MPC is a voluntary program which can be used by U.S. Citizens, certain Canadian Citizen Visitors, Lawful Permanent Residents, and returning Visa Waiver Program applicants with an approved ESTA.

More information regarding eligibility and supported CBP entry locations can be found on our website: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control

MPC can be used in 6 simple steps:

1. Create a primary profile to save your travel documents and biographic information. You can add and save additional eligible people to the MPC app so that you can submit together from one device. Your information will be securely stored on your device to be used for future travel.

2. Select your CBP port of entry, terminal (if applicable), and add up to 11 additional members of your group to include in your submission.

3. Answer CBP inspection questions and certify the truthfulness and accuracy of your answers.

4. Upon arriving at your selected port of entry, tap the “Yes, Submit Now” button. You will be asked to capture a clear and unobstructed photo of yourself and of each other person that you included in your submission.

5. Once your submission is processed, CBP will send a virtual receipt back to your device. Follow the instructions on your receipt and be prepared to present your passport and other relevant travel documents.

6. The CBP Officer will complete the inspection. If further information is required, the CBP Officer will let you know. Please note: The CBP Officer may ask to capture an additional photo of you or your group members for verification.

Bugs
I ran into a bug. After using a Mexican passport to add my husband to my list of people, clicking the "People" nav button always crashed the app. I suspect this was due to Mexico not being eligible for this program (which we figured out by trying to manually add his info, but Mexico wasn't an option). I would expect the app not to crash, and it would also be nice to get a message like "Person added but not eligible." Aside from that, I'm very thankful for this app for its efficiency and speed.

Feature RequestsLove it
For those US residents that need to travel internationally, I highly recommend the CBP MPC app. It made coming back through customs in the US a breeze. There is a dedicated line just for this app, there was only 1 person in line when I got to it (vs dozens in both the international and domestic lines), and the interview lasted 30 seconds. Basically, I just breezed through customs. And it is free. This is from someone who's seat was the back of the plane (so one of the last to get to customs).

Hate itSpendingWaiting
It worked extremely well! I was able to enter the country from Fort Lauderdale airport, which is notorious for having one of the worst immigration queues in the country. I passed through immigration from the plane in less than 10 minutes, including the walk from my plane seat to exiting the airport with this app. Because of this app, I was able to catch the train that was leaving very soon. If not for this app, I would've either waited three hours for the next train or pay $50 for an uber ride.
