Features & Capabilities

Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is an official CBP app designed to speed U.S. entry at select ports. Create a primary profile, add travelers, answer inspection questions, and securely submit photos to receive a virtual receipt.

Notes: MPC does not replace a passport, is available at supported locations, and is intended for U.S. citizens, certain Canadian visitors, lawful permanent residents, and ESTA holders. The six-step workflow guides you through submission and helps streamline the CBP inspection.

User Reviews

Mobile Passport Control is praised for ease of use and potential time savings, especially when lines are long or Global Entry isn’t available. However, its usefulness depends on airport staffing and lane availability; at several airports, MPC is not faster and can even cause delays if lanes are closed or not staffed, particularly for US citizens who may still find the regular line faster.

Pros

Saves time and speeds up entry at CBP.
Easy to use and navigate.
Shorter lines and less waiting when MPC is available.
Prepares questions ahead of time (on plane) for quicker processing.
Useful alternative to Global Entry when it's not available.

Cons

Availability and staffing of MPC lines vary by airport, reducing the benefit.
For US citizens, the regular line is often faster, making MPC less worthwhile.
Occasionally directs users to closed or non-operational lanes, causing delays.
Effectiveness can be inconsistent, with some airports or situations not providing a speed advantage.
