Mobile Passport Control

The official US CBP app for eligible travelers to submit inspection information at supported entry locations.

Our take

Check traveler and arrival-port eligibility before travel

Group submissions and a virtual receipt can streamline the information step of inspection.

Keep in mind: MPC does not replace a passport, admission decision or required travel documents.

What you can do

  • Save eligible travel profiles.
  • Submit CBP inspection responses.
  • Capture arrival photos for a group.
  • Receive instructions through a virtual receipt.

Good for

  • Eligible travelers arriving at an MPC-supported entry location.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting guaranteed expedited admission or universal port coverage.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.1.
  • The listing includes US citizens, certain Canadian visitors, lawful permanent residents and eligible returning VWP travelers with ESTA.
  • An officer still completes inspection and may request another photo.

Privacy & permissions

Passport/biographic data and travelers’ photos are sensitive government inspection information. Save group members only with their knowledge and verify the official CBP app identity.
