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.

Thanks. I was treating them literally, month and day (April 21 vs April 26). Maybe I was posting before drinking enough coffee this morning.

Renewal Timespan
Great news! It took pretty much the same amount of time for me, my renewal from 30 Oct 2019 just came through, no interview required; 10 months nearly to the day. It's now good until my birthday in 2025.

Meanwhile, one of the documents I had submitted back then has since expired and I have a replacement (Driver's License). I hope the fact that the document submitted has expired since I submitted it doesn't further cause my application to be tossed or ignored based on some cursory validation. There's no way to update these things online in a pending application, it seems like the only way to update anything is by providing corrections at an interview or by re-filing the application.

I had a similar experience with my renewal. Less than 2 weeks, on-line submission to a card received back in the mail— nice to see my five-years-ago photo gracing the new card! (Also, my GE had expired for two months before I got around to doing the renewal.)

4 September 2020, made appointment for child.
Child now has appointment at IAD in mid-January 2020.
As mentioned above, child's birthday (and GE expiration) was in August 2020. Hoping this expiration will conflict with the conditional approval and much up the final mid-January 2020 renewal appointment.

Global Entry renewal still "pending review"; faster to just apply for TSA Pre-Check?
I applied for Global Entry renewal after it expired. My status is "pending review".
All I really want is TSA Pre-Check, and I won't be flying again until 2021.
To be sure that I have TSA Pre-Check by early 2021, should I just apply for TSA Pre-Check as well?
My Global Entry renewal was submitted in (I believe) March. Then NY residents were banned from renewals. Then I relocated to another state during the lockdown and submitted by renewal from that other non-NY address. Then I came back to NY and sold the non-NY property. So there have been a lot of changes since I submitted the renewal, in case they complicate the renewal.
Thanks.

No, clearly there are two paths - one is virtually instant renewal approval. The other is non-instant and seems to drag on for at least 9 months now. We haven't been able to deduce why one ends up in which channel (and probably it's something that would require folks to post a lot more information about themselves than they should to figure out any pattern).

I applied for renewal in January, got a conditional approval almost right away, and had an interview scheduled when they wiped out all the NY applications in February.
I submitted a new renewal application on 7/30 once they opened it back up to NY residents and am still "pending review."

Your child will continue to receive Global Entry benefits, pending the interview and final approval of the renewal application, until February 2022.

Thanks very much for that information! That is very helpful in my child's situation, and more generally (I would think) to the larger FT community. I appreciate it.
