Quick question..
When I go into GOES to apply for Global Entry, the Global Entry option is grayed out. I can only apply for Sentri and Nexus. Anyone else have this issue? I emailed the support to which I got generic response telling me what to click. Hard to do when it's grayed out =). I travel 4-6 times a year internationally so I'm very much interested in this program. |

Go to this site: https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/ and click "register" to start the on-line application.

I will be going to SYD next Friday, the 28th, returning on the 30th. Where can I find the Global Entry kiosk at SFO? Thanks!

Depending upon your arrival time at SFO, you may not save much time, b/c SFO *can* be an incredibly quick place to clear, but if you come in with several other flights, it's great. Greg |
For SFO, the location of the kiosks depends on what airline, i.e. wing, of the international terminal you arrive at. For United, i.e. the north wing, the kiosks are on the left but for the south wing airlines, I was told during my interview that they are on the right.

Thanks for the responses! I was travelling all day, so I wasn't able to read what you had posted...
In response, I will be flying UA. I land at SFO around 10:25am on 5/30, barring any major MX delays in SYD!! (crosses fingers!) |

I've already "registered" and have a GOES userid. When I go in and click "Enroll In A New Program", the Global Entry Program is grayed out and non-selectable.
I transposed a number in my birthdate, fixed my profile and was able to complete the GE application. We'll see how long it takes to get any sort of update. |
Of the 4 ORD machines I tried on a recent early morning arrival, only one was working. No one around to offer assistance. The area had no border patrol. I was contemplating just walking though but knew there was no upside to this. Other passengers continued on to the next section. I finally got one of the four in the unmanned section to work after I had tried the other three and waited for another, successful, passenger. When the machines work, it is brilliant. |

When you get your new passport I believe you have to go in to register it into the system anyway. It's not automatically entered when you renew.
I do hope that I can make time to stop and get a new sticker at some point, though. Does anyone know if an appointment is needed for this? |

I can confirm that bringing in the new passport in person isn't actually necessary; I renewed my passport, updated the info online in GOES, and successfully used it at a kiosk yesterday afternoon at IAD.
