Mobile Passport Control is a convenient application that allows U.S. citizens and Canadian visitors to speed up their entry into the United States. Travelers can submit their passport details and customs declaration form via their mobile device, eliminating the need for paper forms and saving time at the airport.

Mobile Passport Control operates by enabling travelers to submit their passport and travel information through the app before arriving at U.S. border control. After submission, the app generates a QR code that travelers show to customs officers, helping to streamline the process and reduce wait times.

Yes, Mobile Passport Control is secure and approved by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The app uses encrypted communication to ensure data protection and does not store personal information once submitted, maintaining users’ security and privacy.

An internet connection is required to submit passport information and customs declarations through the app. However, users can pre-fill their details offline and submit them once connected. It is advisable to connect before reaching customs to avoid delays.

The Mobile Passport Control app is available for free download on Android and iOS devices. There is an optional upgrade to Mobile Passport Plus, which provides additional features such as document storage for a small annual fee. The standard version is usually sufficient for most travelers to expedite their customs process.
