About this app

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.

Very frustrating process. Set up my account before we left. When we arrived back in US (@IAD) the app made me re-log in and then wouldn't accept my passport photo as accurate - even though it was the same passport I scanned when I set-up my account. After 6 tries, I basically forced the app to accept it, bypassing a verification step (if you can by pass the verification, why have it at all?). We were then informed to join a specific line, that had NO AGENT working. This was NOT simple or short

I've used this app multiple times at BWI for me and my family. I took my photo at the end of the ramp when coming off the plane. It's out of the way and a solid background. Each time I've used it, I was able to walk right to customs and use it without issue. Only the Global Entry holders get priority access over you, and there were none whenever I used it.

This app is pretty useless. I tried it but you can't submit it until you land at the entry point airport. Then you have to take a photo of yourself. Clear light, no distracting backgrounds, no other distinguishable faces, and you can't pull a photo from your gallery. It's next to impossible to meet these conditions while you're in the airport at customs. This step should probably come before the submit button. No idea what comes after that. Didn't get passed the photo portion.

I used this app arriving in Miami. Not sure why so many people hate it. Seems to me it must have been user error. I put all the important information in the app the day before travel for 3 of us. It holds your information until you arrive at your destination. As soon as the flight landed, I hit in Airport and we all took our photos in the plane. Following all the directions. The clock starts to tick down from 4 hours. Found our assigned line and we were through customs in 10 minutes.

Totally worthless. Info shows this option is available at DFW. Downloaded the app when leaving, then when we arrived back at DFW, got an error saying I didn't have the latest version. Couldn't update so, had to start all over, just to find out that there were no options to use this when entering customs! Official there said the app was totally useless so...don't just take my word for it!
