Can you check the status of your Global Entry application?

You can check the status of your application from your TTP Dashboard www.ttp.dhs.gov, which is displayed after you login. If your application status is Pending Review then your application has been received and is being processed. Please note that processing times vary by applicant.



Yes, you can check the status of your Global Entry application at any time through the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) website. Once you have submitted your application and paid the fee, you log in to your dashboard to see if your status is "Pending Review," "Conditionally Approved," or "Approved." In 2026, the "Pending Review" stage can still take several months due to high demand. If you are an international applicant (such as from India), you may also need to track your background verification status through the VFS Global portal or your local passport office. Once you receive "Conditional Approval," you can then proceed to schedule your in-person interview or utilize the "Enrollment on Arrival" service at major U.S. airports to finalize your membership without a separate appointment.
