Global Entry Reapplication / Renewal (required every 5 years)
You can proactively initiate the renewal process before you get your expiration notification from DHS, which seem to be going out to your email address of record a few months prior to expiry.
You may reapply for Global Entry renewal as early as one year prior to your membership expiration date; your new GE expiration date will be five years from your next birthday.
The amount of time for approval of applications varies from as little as 1-2 days to as long as several months. The reason for this is unclear. Please be patient. If you renew before expiration, your GE benefits will continue until your renewal is approved/rejected, for up to 24 months after expiration.
__________________________________________________ ______________________________________
Important:
1) If you allow your Global Entry status to expire, even by one day, you will need to submit a new application.
Contrary data points: three people (two of whom are minors) had their GE expire in July/August/October 2021. Renewed in March/April 2022 with full approval (no interview required) within 48 hours.
2) If you cancel a scheduled interview, your application will be canceled. So, instead of canceling an appointment date for the interview, just reschedule it.
Your Global Entry expiration date will show when you register and sign in to the new Trusted Traveler Program website https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/ If you can renew, you will see a white on blue "RENEW" radio button.
Reapplication requires filling out an application form essentially de novo, including listing citizenship or residency documents, whether your driver's license is EDL conforming, aliases or "AKAs", new jobs or address changes since application, all countries visited the last five years (the form sorts them alphabetically, and does not request date or year of visit) and payment of $100 (for five years of GE renewal).
Please don't forget some credit cards will give you credit for PreCheck application or renewal, $85, or for Global Entry etc. renewal, $100, every five years (Barclay Aviator Silver, Capital One Venture, Venture X, Chase CSR and JPM Reserve, AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, American Express Platinum, CNB Crystal, etc.) Interestingly, they may not cover NEXUS, which is $50 - and if you have NEXUS, your GE will be subsumed by NEXUS.
After one to a few weeks, you will likely receive an e-mail informing you action has been taken on your application; you will have to log in to your account to determine what that action has been.
Extension of current Global Entry:
If you submit a renewal application before expiration of your current membership, then you can continue to use your benefits until the renewal is finalized (up to 18 months after your expiration date).
Please note that according to the information the TTP website, the grace period has been extended to 24 months.
Decisions on your application:
1) You may be approved, with no further action on your part necessary; your GE will be extended five years from your next birthdate. For an example of an uncomplicated renewal without requiring an interview, see this post by mre5765.
2) You may receive conditional approval. To receive full approval you must complete the enrollment interview within 365 days of receiving the conditional approval. You still have a hoop or two to jump through.
3) You may have not been approved. See instructions on line to proceed; this information refers to reapplication, not how to appeal or reverse the denial.
If your renewal application takes inordinately long to process or you experience other difficulties, see Frequently Asked Questions or contact or email your questions or request for support through the CBP support portal.

If your application status is "Pending Review" then your application has been received and is being processed. Please note that processing times vary by applicant.
The vetting process cannot be expedited. If you submitted a renewal application before expiration of your current membership, then you can continue to use your benefits until the renewal is finalized (up to 6 months after your expiration date). [Please note that according to the TTP website, the grace period has been extended to 24 months.
[b]After the application has been reviewed, the status will be updated to either "Conditionally Approved" or "Denied" and a letter will be posted in your TTP account with additional information. This letter can be found under Notifications on the Dashboard.
If conditionally approved, you will receive a notification to schedule your interview. It is important that you complete your interview within 365 days of conditional approval. Failure to schedule an interview in that timeframe will cancel your application and you will need to pay again and reapply if you still wish to be a member.
Please note that some Enrollment Centers have a long wait for an interview. Availability is displayed through your TTP account before applying and upon conditional approval. If you have immediate travel plans, please have flexibility in the center that you can visit for the interview. To see where the centers are located see the links below [please go to this [URL="https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1332/~/i-have-submitted-my-trusted-traveler-application-for-review.-did-cbp-receive-my"]CBP web page for the links.
You should prepare for your appointment as if you were newly applying, with passport, naturalization certificate or whatever you're using to establish qualification as well as documents establishing residency (state driver's license, senior identification, etc.) you will also have your fingerprints and photograph taken.
Be sure to mention anything you've forgotten to list in your application form, and to disclose any incidents such as being arrested (not just if you were found guilty) or Driving Under the Influence - alcohol or any substance - AKA "DUIs" (some posting in this thread report they were asked if they'd been charged with DUI);,these folks access various data bases, at least one of which includes data going back to the 1950s. Some members in this forum have posted they had trouble or were initially denied for not mentioning those incidents, even juvenile records that should have been expunged.
If your reapplication is approved, you will generally be notified quickly.
Your Global Entry Program Number / TT# and your PASSID will not change.

Hi folks. I have a credit card perk that reimburses me for Global Entry fees up to $100. The card has an annual fee and I likely will cancel it once the annual fee hits in mid October. My daughter's Global Entry will expire in July of 2022 and therefore if I apply in July 2021 and say she is approved within a month or two, will she lose the extra year that we already paid for, four years ago?
My daughter is now 7 years old and at the time we applied, she was only 3 so they did not take her finger prints. Every time we come back from an international trip, we end up having to go through an officer as opposed to breezing through the lines because of her fingerprints are not on file. Do you think upon renewal, they will ask for an interview?

I was under the impression that GE can nly be renewed during the last year of each 5 year membership term. So if it expires on July 1, 2022 you can renew starting July 1, 2021 (or perhaps the next day).

Any experiences with how long it's taking nowadays to renew Global Entry when applying after the expiration date (it was about 2 weeks, in my case)? Not sure this matters, but this would be my 2nd renewal (first got it in 2010). Had no idea that it was going to expire on that date, and I swear I never got an e-mail reminder either!

I'm in the middle of my busy travel season and suddenly lost my pre check. I didn't realize my GE expired this year and got no notice. After realizing what happened, I immediately submitted my renewal application, 2 weeks after expiration. My travel companion is up for renewal in a couple months so I suggested he renew now.
Companion got his conditional approval in 24 hours and scheduled a virtual interview, ironically, on his expiration date.
I'm a week out now from submitting my renewal application and it's still pending.
I sure hope I'm not waiting months because it expired before renewal. I've got 6 trips before Labor Day including an international. I'll report back when my status updates.

I submitted a renewal a week ago and it's still pending, but on the TTP website, it says:
"Please remember to revisit our website for your application status updates. Notification of when you may schedule an interview appointment (if one is needed) will only be posted here."
I really need to log in every day and check the status? They won't even send me an e-mail when it's time to schedule an appointment?

Sounds like exactly what happened to me. No advance notice at all...my expiration date fell 2 days after my outbound flight but somehow the system hadn't "caught up" so I still got Precheck on the outbound. Just to give you an idea of the timeframes to expect; I applied on May 30, got conditional approval on June 28, and am now scheduled for a Zoom interview on July 27.
