Do you get a known traveler number with Global Entry?

If you have a physical Global Entry card, you can find your Known Traveler Number on the back. It's designated as a PASSID number, made up of nine digits. You can usually find your KTN on the TSA or Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) websites as well.

We've long espoused the benefits of Global Entry, which lets travelers breeze past the lines at U.S. customs by checking in at a kiosk. But there are limits to its powers: Global Entry only works upon entry into the U.S., and not to any country around the world.

In summary To use Global Entry kiosks, you just need your passport or permanent resident card. However, if you're planning on traveling to Canada or Mexico, consider adding the NEXUS or SENTRI programs to your membership and remember to bring your card with you!
