by U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, CBP, and the Federal Ministry
of the Interior of the Federal Republic of
Germany on April 14, 2010, CBP is
expanding Global Entry eligibility to
include all German citizens in
accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth below. As a result,
CBP is concluding the limited pilot
program. All pilot participants will
continue their Global Entry membership
for the initial five-year membership
period. If pilot participants want to
renew their membership when their
initial Global Entry membership
expires, the renewal will be subject to
the terms and conditions set forth
below.
Terms and Conditions
Any German citizen may apply for
Global Entry. Unlike the pilot, a German
citizen does not have to participate in
ABG Plus to be eligible to apply for
Global Entry. As noted in the previous
section, Germany’s ABG Plus trusted
traveler program has been discontinued.
Before a German citizen can apply for
Global Entry, he or she must visit an
EasyPASS 3 enrollment center in
Germany and complete a thorough risk
assessment by the German Federal
Police. The list of EasyPASS enrollment
center locations is available at http://
www.easypass.de/EasyPass/EN/
EasyPASS-RTP/rtp_node.html. After a
German citizen is vetted for Global
Entry by the German Federal Police, the
German Federal Police will notify both
CBP and the applicant that the applicant
is eligible to apply for Global Entry.
Then the applicant will be required to
complete the online application for
Global Entry located on the GOES Web
site, pay the non-refundable Global
Entry fee, and satisfy all the
requirements of Global Entry. The
applicant will be permitted to
participate in Global Entry only upon
successful completion of a risk
assessment by CBP and completion of
an interview with a CBP officer. If an
applicant is not vetted by the German
Federal Police prior to applying to
Global Entry through GOES, the Global
Entry application will not be processed.
The vetting criteria were mutually
agreed upon by both agencies and are
consistent with each agency’s applicable
domestic laws and policies. CBP will
notify the applicants whether or not
they have been accepted in the Global
Entry program.
Applicants may be denied enrollment
in the Global Entry program for various

process available to registered third-country
nationals when entering Germany.

reasons. An individual who is
inadmissible to the United States under
U.S. immigration law or has, at any
time, been granted a waiver of
inadmissibility or parole is ineligible to
participate in Global Entry.
Applications from such individuals will
automatically be rejected. Applications
for Global Entry may also be rejected if
the applicant has ever been arrested for,
or convicted of, a criminal offense, or if
the individual has ever been found in
violation of customs or immigration
laws, or of any criminal law.
Additionally, an applicant will not be
accepted for participation in Global
Entry if CBP determines that the
applicant presents a potential risk of
terrorism, or criminality (including
smuggling), or if CBP cannot sufficiently
determine that the applicant meets all
the program eligibility criteria. The
eligibility criteria are set forth in more
detail in the Global Entry final rule and
8 CFR 235.12. See also http://
www.globalentry.gov.
Validity Period
Global Entry has a five-year
membership period. After the second
year of membership, German citizens
will be notified by CBP, via email, that
they must again visit an EasyPASS
enrollment center and be vetted by the
German Federal Police. If a German
citizen Global Entry member fails to be
vetted by the German Federal Police
within the allotted time, Global Entry
membership will be terminated. These
additional vetting requirements are not
applicable to pilot participants during
their initial five-year Global Entry
membership.
U.S. Citizens’ Participation in EasyPASS
Any U.S. citizen, 18 years of age or
older, has the option to enroll in
EasyPASS. EasyPASS is a registered
traveler program in Germany that
provides expedited entry into the
country via the use of eGates, an
automated border control system that
uses facial recognition for biometric
verification of the individual’s identity.
Consequently, an ePassport is required
for EasyPASS. A U.S. citizen does not
have to be a member of a CBP trusted
traveler program to apply for EasyPASS.
U.S. applicants may apply for
EasyPASS at an EasyPASS enrollment
center in Germany. U.S. applicants must
register for EasyPASS directly with the
Government of Germany. There is
currently no fee associated with
EasyPASS. The applicant will be
notified immediately at the enrollment
center about whether he or she is
approved for EasyPASS. The limited
number of U.S. citizens who enrolled in

ABG Plus, under the eligibility
