User Reviews for Mobile Passport Control

Hard to scan passport with iPad

The movement of the passport and the image on the screen on an iPad do not seem to be coordinated. I found it very difficult to place our passport image pages into the screen. Fortunately with multiple attempts the program seemed to acquire all the information that it needed. The information was correct. I could not verify the images and may have my wife’s Face ID for my information on our joint Mobile Passport Control record.

May save you a lot of time - or not.

Contrary to many 1* reviews the App is very easy to use. The only design defect is that you have to start at the “Begin Your Entry Process” screen, select “Airplane” or “Cruise Ship” - which does not matter at that point - and only than start adding travelers. Once that step is complete, you cancel the entry form, and the data will remains recorded in the App.Once you are about to arrive you go to that same “Begin Your Entry Process” screen, and on the next page select from those travelers profiles that you have already created.The actual experience at the airport may vary. In EWR in September there were clearly marked signs for MPC, however that was the same line as for the crew, which was actually a bit longer than the regular line. (Which was uncharacteristically short at the time.)In PHL in December the MPC line was “hidden in plain sight”: there was a huge sign, but it was different in style from all the other signs directing the traffic, and our family has missed it on the first pass. However going through that line saved us at least half an hour or more.At any event, with MPC there’s always an option to just use regular line if it looks shorter.

Job well done

The app is very user friendly and makes transfer through customs much faster. Great service!

Useless in Newark

I was a big supporter of Mobile Passport and was surprised when I found out that CBP MPC was now the official app to be used at U.S. Customs & Boarder Patrol. I downloaded the new app and entered the necessary information as required. Upon landing at Newark International Airport, I was disappointed to find out there was no longer a separate entry for CBP MPC customers that previously was available for Mobile Passport. So I am not sure what the benefits are to the new app and what services it provides? After waiting in line and showing the agent the information on the app, he actually got mad at me and said the app is “useless”. So the question I have is what advantages does this app have for international travelers? From practical experience, none!

Front in the line

In the past we used the Mobile Pass app but that has now been replaced with this one. It works basically the same. Scan your all of your family’s passports, take selfies, answer some questions and submit once you land. When you get to immigration, make sure you get in the mobile passport lane and you basically jump to the front. Not sure why more people don’t know about this app.

Slower process than not using the app

Landed in Seattle, waited 30 min for luggage. The line for MPC wasn’t very long, but didn’t move. All the non MPC users were long gone but those of us using the app were still waiting in line. What’s the point? The process was slower when using MPC than without. 2 stars because the software worked but the process didn’t.

Cannot fill out ahead of time

What a hassle to have to wait until you land to fill everything out. What’s the point. When you travel 22 hours from Asia (including stops), you’re exhausted! Last thing I want to be doing is filling out paperwork on a 7-inch screen! Why can’t it be filled out a day before? Why within 4 hours? What a pain.

Seamless Travel

Great App and extremely convenient to use and save time for the immigration clearance The baggage information is quite a unique feature and extremely helpful If additional features like the airport map layout and the connecting flight information can be added then it will be a fantastic option for users who come on an international flight and have to connect on a domestic flight Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏼

Currently Useless

The app allows you to fill in data. But once arriving at designated airport there wrre multiple errors preventing submission whether on cellular or wifi. Error message sstated to contact an agent. Once in front of a Custom agent the problem was explained to which he replied that he didn't need the app for processing. Without being able to use this the whole thing from beginning to end took only 2 minutes to clear customs. This app is currently junk. Perhaps updates will help

Saved us hours!

Landed in IAD yesterday 4/1/22 and they held us on the transport bus for 10 minutes because the immigration hall was full. I would guess around a 2-3 hour wait. We joined the mobile queue with one person in front of us and were through in less than 5 minutes. I assume as the app gains popularity that the line will get longer, but at the time of writing I can’t emphasize how much better of an experience this was.

Description

Mobile Passport Control streamlines your U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing experience. Simply fill out your profile and answer CBP’s questions – then go straight to the “Mobile Passport Control” lane at the airport.

CBP Mobile Passport Control is a voluntary program which can be used by U.S. Citizens and Canadian citizen visitors at any of the supported airport and seaport locations found on our website: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control CBP Mobile Passport Control can be used in 5 simple steps: 1.) Eligible traveler(s) download the application and create a profile(s) using biographic information from their passport(s) and take a “selfie”; all eligible members in a family group can create a profile, submit their CBP form (up to 12 eligible members per trip), and store their information completely free to be used for future travel. 2.) Upon landing, travelers select their method of travel, port of entry and terminal, answer CBP inspection related questions, certify the truthfulness and accuracy of their answers, and submit their profiles and responses to CBP. 3.) Once submitted, CBP sends an encrypted Quick Response (QR) code back to the traveler’s device. 4.) Travelers proceed to the MPC designated queue upon arrival and present their QR code to a CBP Officer along with their passport. Please note: MPC does not replace your passport; your passport will need to be presented to the CBP Officer. 5.) The CBP Officer will complete their inspection. MPC provides a more efficient, secure in-person inspection process for the CBP Officer and the traveler, and shortens overall entry wait times.
