This Is the Best Time to Renew Global Entry — and How to Do It
The best time to renew your Global Entry membership is 6 months before it expires. Here’s how to do it:
- Log in to your Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) account
- Select “Renew Application” under Program Memberships
- Update your information and submit the application
- Pay the $100 renewal fee
- Wait for conditional approval (usually within 1-2 weeks)
- Schedule and attend an interview if required (many renewals don’t need this step)
Tips:
- Start the process early to avoid lapses in membership
- Check for any changes in eligibility requirements
- Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned renewal date
Remember, your current membership remains active until it expires, even if you’re still in the renewal process.
