How to Update a Global Entry Account With Login.gov

We all know how tough it actually is to first get our visas approved when we are heading to the United States. Even when you do have the Visa it is not guaranteed that you will be having a safe travel whatsoever. However, the US government has taken into consideration this issue and a framework to safeguard all travelers to the US has now been set up in the form of the Global Entry Account. But, what exactly is a Global Entry Account? In this article, I will show you what exactly it is and how you can log in. So, stick to the end. 

What Is the Global Entry Account and How to Create Your Account

Global Entry Account is an initiative taken by US Customs and Border Protection to make sure that travelers have a safe journey once they land in the US. There are certain Kiosks established at the Airports that make sure that everything is fine and then you can begin your journey. 

To open a Global Entry account, you must first fill out an online application and pay a $100 non-refundable application fee. You will be required to complete a form with personal data about yourself, such as your name, birthdate, passport details, travel history, and any prior arrests.

Then, you will receive an invitation to a face-to-face interview at a Global Entry Enrollment Centre when your application has been evaluated and approved. During the interview, a CBP officer will verify your eligibility, get information about your prior travel experiences and plan future travel, and take your biometric data (fingerprint and photo).

If you are approved for Global Entry, you will receive a Global Entry ID card that you can use at computerized entry kiosks at participating airports. You can simply head to the kiosk at the airport, scan your ID (such as a passport or permanent residency card), and provide your fingerprints for verification. The kiosk will then create a receipt for you to deliver to the customs officer for final clearance.

How to Login to the Global Entry Account Portal

Now, one thing that you have to remember is that the GEA essentially comes under the TTP or the Trusted Traveller Programme. So, in order to login to your account you will have to head to the official TTP website with the URL https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/

.The, from the top right corner of the home page select the Login option. 

Then, enter the Login.gov password as well as the email address and click on the Sign-in option. 

After logging in, you may access your TTP Dashboard to maintain your global entry log in membership, update your personal information, and check the status of your application.

Note: The identity management system Login.gov allows you to securely access a number of government websites with just a single email address and password. If you don’t already have one, you must first create a Login.gov account by clicking the “Create an account” option and then adhering to the on-screen instructions.

What to Do If You Can’t Log in to the Global Entry Account Portal

Now, in many cases, Global Entry not working is a recurring issue and can be credited to a lot of different issues. Some of the ways via which you can fix it are:

• One of the first things that you can do is check if the credentials such as username and password are entered correctly. 

• Then, in case you are having trouble with the password itself, you can simply click on the “Forgot your password?” link on the login page and follow the on-screen prompts that are provided to you to reset your password.
• You can also try using a different web browser and see if the login is working correctly or not. 

If none of these procedures works, you can send a support ticket to the CBP Trusted Traveller Programmes Help Desk at https://help.cbp.gov/s/contactsupport.

But do remember that you have to be as specific as you can about the problem you are having and any error messages you may have seen when getting in touch with the CBP help desk. They might be able to assist you in troubleshooting the problem or refer it to their technical team for additional research.
