Updateing of Global Entry Info.?

Was your return before the expiration date of your previous passport?

When my passport expired and I was issued a new one, I logged into the global entry website and updated my passport info (passport number and I think expiration date). I thought this was required based on what the person who interviewed me told me originally. This was back in 2015.

I just looked at the CBP website and am not sure it was necessary

You would think the government would automatically take care of updating your Global Entry info.

But it is also not specifically saying that you must update your passport info. The website says, ”To minimize unnecessary delays, please update your documents on the TTP website.”

I assumed that updating the documents was required, but that wording seems to only imply that you could be delayed.

Regardless, it is easy to update the info online.

In other words, to have the GE kiosk not print out the dreaded ticket requiring you to be sent to the "special" room for a strip search, you better update your info.
