And it's free!
USA TODAYWhen you land at home after an international flight that felt like it lasted forever, the last thing you want to see is a two-hour line to get through Customs and Border Protection .The Mobile Passport app gives travelers the chance to opt out of the traditional customs queue and pick a shorter line after entering passport and travel information electronically.
It's a staffing decision whether the airport wants to create and man an additional line. In some airports, Mobile Passport comes and goes. For example, Mobile Passport was accepted at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport but no longer is. The traditional process travelers go through at customs is more involved. You wait in line, approach an officer, show your paper form and your passport. If you use Mobile Passport, most of the work was finished while you were probably still on the plane.
The app is available for free, but there is a premium subscription option. Users are given a choice of whether to subscribe to premium when opening the app for the first time. You can also go back to subscribe later on. If you're willing to reenter your information each time, it's free. Miller said it makes sense for U.S. and Canadian citizens who travel internationally on a frequent basis to pay that annual fee.It may seem nerve-racking to upload personal information from a passport to an app, but Miller said Mobile Passport ensures personal data is protected, and it's not stored in the app.
