Global Entry - New Passport
Hi experts:

I am currently registered for Global Entry, but I'm running out of Passport pages and I'm going to apply for a new one. My question is: do I need to go through the whole process again, or, will the US Gov't be smart enough to carry over my Global Entry record to my new passport? I poke around the GOV sites but can't find anything definitive.

Thanks

AFAIK you need to tell the GE folks your new passport number. Then the kiosks will recognize it for GE. You can also stop by a GE office at your convenience to get the CBP sticker indicating that you have been registered/approved for GE. You do not re-do the application and pay another fee.

I suspect that the GOES website where you originally applied for GE has a feature to register your new passport, but I haven't yet tried to do this. I just remember the officer telling me about how to handle passport replacement during my original GE interview.

Could You Add Pages Instead?
If your expiry is a while away, why not just add more pages?

You need to stop by a Global Entry office (no need to make an appointment) and tell them you have a new passport, they need to make the change in the database. Takes about 5 minutes

Log into your GOES account to add your new passport number. Then go to the office when convenient. I believe you can use GE with the new passport even if you haven't been to the office, but I haven't put that to the test.

BTW, as for the other question, the price of new pages is so high you're better off paying for a new passport in most cases. I tried to do a break-even calculation, and came up with any passport over 3 years:

Thanks. I'm going to try again for US States Department to give me a 48-page passport. I can't believe they rejected my request last time and only given me a 24-page passport. I run out of visa pages after just 1.5 years, I travel internationally at least 10 times a year to MULTIPLE destinations on each trip. I really don't understand the rationale of only given me a 24-page last time when I had no problem getting 48-page the two times prior.

Yeah, thanks for all the answers. I found on GOES that you can change your passport number, and the wording on the website may it sound like that's all you needed to do... makes me nervous... I will probably visit a GE office just to be safe...

THey did that to me, too. No explanation.

CBP instructed me just to change the passport number in GOES and I didn't need to come in to change it. Haven't tested it yet though!

How will you get the CBP sticker on your NEW pp?--some places look for sticker.
[If, say, the GE terminals are "down", you are supposed to be able to jump the queue and go to the next agent--but without the sticker, how would they know you are GE?]

You could bring your old (stickered) passport until you've had a chance to get a new sticker. A new sticker takes 3 minutes at the CBP office, without an appointment. Sure, it's a detour at some airports, but I would still do it eventually. I just wouldn't make a special trip--either do it on the outbound if you have time, or during a layover, or on a return.

I would think (and hope) that they would rather honor the GE card rather than a sticker....

What GE card?

Stop by the office, register your new passport and get the sticker.

Since the summer of 2011, new Global Entry members have been issued a card. It can be used at land borders for expedited entry into the US.

And old GE members don't have one. Hence my question.
