To the best of my recollection, the interviewing officer just looked at my passport to verify identity and citizenship.
By the way, GOES is the acronym for the Global Online Enrollment System, the website which was previously used to enroll in and update or edit information for all the Trusted Traveler Programs: Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST. It was replaced by the
TTP website. To avoid confusion, please use GE, not GOES, when referring to Global Entry.
