CBP to Hold
Global Entry Enrollment Event at Bozeman-Yellowstone
International Airport
SWEETGRASS, Mont. — U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations would like to announce dates for an
upcoming Global Entry enrollment event to be held by CBP at the Bozeman-Yellowstone
International Airport. During these
enrollment events, CBP will conduct interviews for conditionally approved
Global Entry applicants.
Global Entry is a voluntary
expedited clearance initiative for pre-approved low-risk international
travelers. Travelers who are approved
for the Global Entry Program are processed using biometric identification through
a designated kiosk. Global Entry members who utilize the kiosks enjoy expedited
processing and greatly reduced wait times when re-entering the United States.
Once
applicants receive their conditional letter of approval, they may utilize the
online scheduling tool in their Trusted Traveler Program Account to confirm an
appointment for the event. Interviews
will be conducted at the Bozeman CBP Office on the dates/times listed below:
