It’s actually the reverse of what agent told you. Card doesn’t work with kiosks. At the kiosk , you need your passport and the visa page( or green card). It’s really fingerprint —> scan docs —> take printout and then walk up to GE line with ID. Now, you will need your card if you’re trying to use NEXUS or SENTRI , flying out of Canada or Mexico.

I got my global entry approved via the interview 10 days ago. Entered the us today, coming back from London. At the iad airport, I simply walked over to the global entry kiosk, scanned my passport and fingerprints, got a pic taken and was done. I was asked no questions and was not asked to produce a card.
When I interviewed, the officer told me as a foreign national they wouldn’t be sending me a card. But then he also told me I would not get pre check most likely, but I did.

back to US by air, GE members scan their passports or permanent resident cards at GE kiosks - a card is not required. ‘ is this true ?

I have recently returned to US within 8 week window after my GE was approved. Once from Canada and had my immigration there and the other from Latin America. In Canada, the person didn’t let me enter the GE line cos I didn’t have the card. She wasn’t aware of the Foreign national rule. The other time in Us airport, the person said the kiosk probably won’t work for me without the GE card and I didn’t wanna lose one of the first spots in the regular line by wasting time at a Kiosk, so didn’t try. Wondering if any other 🐠 tried using Kisoks without the GE card and using just your passports ?

Card is only meant for road or cruises. You don’t need the card for air travel. It’s the same for all

@EY1, So how does the process work for airtravel ?

Actually you just need to your passport page...but make sure your visa is up to date on cbp profile

Thanks @EY1

Agree with EY1.. only nuance is that permanent residents don’t need their passport.. they only need to scan the physical PR card.

I have a card but only use GC at Kiosks at US airports. Not citizen obviously

Thanks D1, P1 and D2.
@D2, I have been using TSA Pre-Check from the very next day of my GE approval. I got the PASS ID via email the same day and I just used it on all my reservations to leverage the pre-check benefit

This was really helpful! Thanks everyone!
