Bring your valid passport and one other form of identification, such as a driver's license or ID card, to the interview. If you are a lawful permanent resident, you must present your machine readable permanent resident card.

When attending a Global Entry interview in 2026, you are required to present two primary forms of government-issued identification. The first and most essential is a valid, unexpired passport (or a Permanent Resident Card if you are a lawful permanent resident). This is non-negotiable as Global Entry is tied directly to your international travel documents. The second form of ID is typically a valid driver’s license or a state-issued photo ID card. This second document serves to verify your identity and your current residential address. If your driver's license does not show your current address, you must bring a third document—such as a utility bill, rental agreement, or mortgage statement—as proof of residency. Failure to bring the physical, original versions of these documents to your interview will likely result in the cancellation of your application and the need to reschedule.
