Canadians Eligible to Use New ‘Mobile Passport Control’ App to Skip U.S. Customs Lines
For Canadians travelling to the USA without a NEXUS pass, U.S. Customs and Border Protection have launched a new iOS app called Mobile Passport Control, which aims to expedite entry processes into America.
Mobile Passport Control is a free iOS app that is currently being piloted at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Testing began on August 13, with more airports slated come later this year (and an Android app in the future).
“We are strongly committed to the facilitation of travel and tourism to the United States, all while maintaining the highest security standards in the world,” said Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “Mobile Passport Control is an important step and one that we think the traveling public will embrace.”
According to the CBP, here are the five easy steps required to use the app:
1. Complete your profile with basic passport information.
2. Answer US CBP’s questions about your trip.
3. Submit your information WHEN YOU LAND and get a receipt from US CBP.
4. Skip the regular line and follow the signs for Mobile Passport Control.
5. Scan your receipt and show your passport to the US CBP officer.
The app replaces the traditional blue-and-white paper declaration form travellers normally need to fill out when entering the U.S. by air.
U.S. and Canadian citizens are eligible to use the app, which also supports single submissions for families traveling together. Receipts are valid for four hours and also—the app does not replace your passport (duh!).

Looks pretty cool for peeps without NEXUS.
it would be great if they in integrated with NEXUS
a lot of Canadians are already members of NEXUS and Global Entry trusted traveler program
Excellent 2 for $50 bucks
With NEXUS you already can just bypass lines and go straight to an automated kiosk though. But yeah, if it had NEXUS support to bypass the kiosk and go straight to a customs officer, that would be great. NEXUS is so cheap and is amazing.
with NEXUS we don’t need bring our passport to U.S land or air
as long we registered with Global Entry Program we can bypass lines
NEXUS is alone is your proof citizenship
Looks exciting! Hopefully they hire an actual designer to make it look decent.
I agree. But for now it seems functionality is the priority. Pretty cool idea.
This is a very smart idea. I think it will be a great success.
Not that I would go to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport just to try this app but it is a start. Looking forward to seeing this work for us Canucks.
