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.

If you apply for renewal after the expiration date of your membership, you will not receive the trusted travelers program benefits until the final approval of the renewal application. The benefits are extended, for up to two years, pending the final approval of the renewal application only when the renewal application is submitted prior to the original expiration date.

I have a similar problem in that I erroneously let my GE expire in June 2021 and applied February 1, 2022 when I started traveling again. I don't recall receiving any expiration notice. As of today I'm still waiting for conditional approval? Is there anything or anyone I can contact to see what the status is or if there's a problem. I see others in this forum who have been approved pretty quickly. This would be my third time paying for GE and I did not travel out of the country in the past 5 years.
Thank you.
Thank you.

How long does global entry take nowadays?
I just looked on my global entry card and it expires in August of 2023. I remember that there has been some timing issues for getting a new one. Does anyone know how the situation is nowadays?

2 DPs for GE Renewal
P1:
Applied: Nov 26, 2021
Status: still shows "Pending Review" as of now (Jan 7, 2022)
P2:
Applied: Jan 5, 2022
Approval: Jan 7, 2022
P2 was born a US citizen while P1 obtained US citizenship in 2020. Not sure if that's why P2's process was much quicker.

Another data point of long delays for renewal.
Current GE expires MAY-2022
Did the renewal process on 4-DEC-2021
As of today (17-MAR-2022) - application is still showing "pending".
I see others comment that submitted renewals in NOV-2021 -- finally getting approvals.
Hopefully some time in the next month.
Time now 11:20am -- This is amazing - I just received notification of an "update" on my application.
Logged back into the GE site - and the application is now "approved" with no interview needed.
Looks like they are finally making progress thru the backlog.

I stupidly let my GE expire the end of Nov. I immediately submitted a renewal application. I received notification today that I was conditionally approved and need to schedule an interview. I live in LA and the next interview slot is in January 2023. The notice says I need to schedule either a remote or in-person interview. However, I don't see a link for remote interviews. If there is not a link to specifically schedule a remote interview, does that mean I'm not eligible? When I applied for the renewal I added APEC and I'm afraid that might be why I need to do in-person.
Is it worth continuing to check for sooner appointments in LA? If I'm randomly traveling to some other airport and see the Global Entry interview location, is it possible to try to walk-in? Any other suggestions to get this done sooner?

Since my GE expired in 2022, I thought my family's did also. I was wrong. That's when I realized that we applied in 2016, and we got approved between my birthday and the rest of my family's. Oops.
I applied for Baby Swede's renewal on 3/21. I checked today, and she got full approval with expiration in 2027!
I wonder if they're skipping interviews because she's a minor and to save slots for adults. I will test it out again with Miss Swede's application.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Swede starts traveling for work in May, and I'm not holding out hope for a quick renewal. I'm probably just hoping for conditional approval when we travel internationally this summer and do EoA.
