Kathie found out the hard way when going through Immigration in February when her passport did not work- It had expired while we were in Mexico for a month. Not as bad as me a couple of years ago, went to check in at United at the airport in Northern Ky. My pass port expired that day. Instead of flying down On Saturday, made a appointment at the Pass Port office in Chicago for Wed and flew down on Thursday.

If your Global Entry has expired, you have to renew in person (I found out the hard way). Otherwise, it seems a random selection of travelers have to renew in person. Otherwise it seems most can do it on line.

It looks like if you started before the epidemic, you are stuck in a limbo because you had all ready started the process- all we can do is wait and see in Kathie's case.

For unknown reasons, maybe at random, CBC requires that some people be re-interviewed to renew their Global Entry cards. Most do not. Most can renew online.

Just tried. Because we had scheduled appointments, the site would not let us by pass a appointment to renew. What a kicker because we see every item that had been done and said was waiting for appointment to proceed.

Thanks. Will see if they will let us- before would not.

I did mine online the other day, was done in 15 min. There was nothing more than that. They will use my old picture and send it out to me.

Kathie could renew in Jan on our return from "Z" if we can still travel. Because of having friends picking us up, felt scheduling an appointment would be best. If it is in Chicago gives us an excuse to visit family and friends in the area or if in Northern Ky visit with friends. If no appointments available till then, will do when we return. Just go with the flow and not worry- at least United has us as with GP and still have the benefits.

Avoided renewal headaches by renewing at the first US airport upon reentry from international flight. In my case Houston. Special line set up just for Global Entry pass renewals. Took no more than 3 minutes. If I remember correctly, I renewed online, then checked the box saying that I will renew at an airport upon returning from next international flight. There's a list for participating airports. By far, best way to go if you frequently travel international destinations, as I do.

We did not realize Kathie's GP expired while we were in Mexico in Jan. Found out when going through Immigration in Chicago. They let her go through a short line. Took for ever to get it approved and get a date & place. Was set for June 22 by the Greater Cincinnati Airport. 1st of May received email all appointments are put on hold. Around the middle of June received email to make the appointment. The only place within reason was O'Hare- appointment was made for July 22. Got a email Friday- no appointments until after the First of August. So if anyone needs to renew their GP, it is not going to be easy at this time.
