U.S. citizens who are members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler programs are eligible to use SmartGate upon arrival in Australia if they:

are a member of CBP's Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI Program;
travel on a valid U.S. ePassportš and
are 16 years of age or older.
Travelers who meet all three criteria will be eligible to try SmartGate.

There is no additional enrollment process to participate in SmartGate. CBP has partnered with the Australian Government on this initiative to facilitate the entry of U.S. citizens into Australia. By using SmartGate, eligible travelers are able to bypass Australia's manual passport control processing queues and self-process using their ePassportš.

SmartGate is currently available at the following airports in Australia:

Adelaide
Brisbane
Cairns
Darwin
Gold Coast
Melbourne
Perth
Sydney
