Description
Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is an official application created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that streamlines your CBP processing experience at select U.S. entry locations. Simply fill out your traveler profile, answer CBP inspection-related questions, and proceed straight to the “Mobile Passport Control” lane at the airport or seaport.
MPC is a voluntary program which can be used by U.S. Citizens, Canadian Citizen Visitors, Lawful Permanent Residents, and Visa Waiver Program Visitors at any of the supported airport and seaport locations found on our website: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control
MPC provides a more efficient, secure in-person inspection process for the CBP Officer and the traveler, and shortens overall entry wait times.
MPC can be used in 6 simple steps:
1. Create a traveler profile using biographic information from your passport; You can create a profile for all eligible members in a family group. Your profiles will be securely stored on your device completely free to be used for future travel.
2. Select your method of travel, select your port of entry and terminal (if applicable), answer CBP inspection-related questions, certify the truthfulness and accuracy of your answers, and, upon arriving at your selected port of entry, tap the “Yes, Submit Now” button.
3. Capture a clear and unobstructed photo of each traveler (including yourself) that you added to your submission.
4. Once your submission is processed, CBP will send a virtual receipt back to your device.
5. Proceed to the MPC designated lane upon arrival and be prepared to present your passport and other relevant travel documents. Please note: MPC does not replace your passport; your passport will need to be presented to the CBP Officer.
6. The CBP Officer will complete the inspection. If further information is required, the CBP Officer will let you know.

Ratings and Reviews
Really impressive UI and well designed
UI was super impressive and smooth. App is just well made
Did not speed up entry to USA, in fact delayed us on initial entry.
Arriving in Houston Tx as our first entry to USA. It was not clear if our MPC was valid as we are foreign nationals. We got in a very long line after about 30mins an offical was near our part of the line. I asked him is MPC valid at the Houston, he informed me that we should go to another line around the corner about 150 meters away. We subsequently got into this line but noted that this line was not moving unlike the other much larger line we initially joined. It appeared there was only one manned booth signed as MPC. The line on the non MPC general entry, judging by what we could see at the barriers on the other side had apparently processed the part of the queue where we had been located initially. We estimated that it took us an extra 30mins than the general entry (without MPC). We were asked all the same information as we had provided to MPC. Our second entry to USA via Toronto following a trip to Canada was quicker than the first but we were again asked all the same questions as provided when completing MPC. In conclusion, MPC does not seem to provide any benefit above normal entry and can actually take longer. I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone else as a time saving method. Kind regards Ian Garde
Love this so easy
This app is great and stops the fossicking of pens making mistakes with crosses and just stopping general calamity in filling in forms and carting them about . Great work CBP !
