FLACRUISER99 Posted January 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Has anyone used the mobile passport app at Port Everglades? If so please tell me if it was easy to use and if it actually worked. THANKS!! Yes I used it yesterday and it worked great. I recommend downloading it at home and putting in all your passport info and take your picture. You are able to put in in info for all your family members.

Fouremco Posted January 30, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2017 We used it last November. Quick and easy to use for disembarkation, but I too recommend loading the profiles and photos beforehand.

sharktums Posted January 30, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2017 We had it ready to go after our Thanksgiving cruise on Harmony but I had filled out the paper form just in case there were any troubles. The line for the Mobile Passport was longer and slower than the normal line when we disembarked!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line for the Mobile Passport was longer and slower than the normal line when we disembarked!!!! I've heard that can happen for some disembarkations. Probably a lot of delays created by people who haven't got the process down. In the mean time, we have our NEXUS cards and a paper declaration form filled out and will go to whatever line is shortest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retire2cruise55 Posted January 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Looks like the app is only "live" at Port Everglades... Bummer as I wanted to try it in Port Liberty-NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer as I wanted to try it in Port Liberty-NJ I think that PE is a guinea pig for cruise ports. If it works well and is effective in speeding people through primary, they might expand the program as they did with airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted January 31, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Even if available, it may not work (FLL twice this month) or as someone else mentioned the regular line could be quicker. Have plan B (paper) ready to ago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkerbink Posted February 1, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2017 What is the procedure for using this app? I will be going to Europe this summer through Newark Airport. I have the app but I couldn't find out how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeNJ1109 Posted February 1, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Forgive me for asking a question that is slightly off-topic ... in addition to the mobile app lines, can someone confirm that there is a Global Entry area at PE? I've heard there was but am not 100% sure. My wife, daughter and I have GE due to our international travel, and find it an excellent program to be in and out of immigration / customs in no time. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouremco Posted February 1, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 1, 2017 What is the procedure for using this app? I will be going to Europe this summer through Newark Airport. I have the app but I couldn't find out how to use it. The links below give you all the information you should know, but to run through it quickly, after downloading the app you need to create a profile for yourself and family members travelling with you. This includes biodata, passport information and a photo that you can take from within the app. When you return, you'll need to fill in trip details and a declaration form in the app. When you arrive at the airport and access to your cell provider's network or the airport wifi, submit that information to CBP. You will receive an e-receipt with a barcode which will be good for four hours. There may be a separate line for Mobile Passport users or there may be a line combining Mobile Passport with Global Entry. When you arrive at primary, you will need to show your e-receipt along with your passports. I've only used mine at Port Everglades and it was quick and easy. Others at different times have found the separate Global Entry line quicker. I have Nexus, so I fill in my paper declaration form and have that handy so I can go to whatever line seems to be the fastest moving. http://www.mobilepassport.us https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control/mobile-passport-control-frequently-asked-questions https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted February 3, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I had planned to use it when debarking from Allure in Jan. I was directed to a very short line and I was ready to use it. The officer said he didn't like the app and just wanted to see my passport. I guess he didn't like the technology of today. I showed my passport and off I went. Easy peasy!
