International Registered Traveler Program Becomes the "Global Entry Program"
On May 27, 2008, Customs and Border Protection announced three specific changes to the “International Registered Traveler" (IRT) program which will allow for expedited clearance for certain pre-approved, low-risk air travelers into the U.S. which it previously announced on April 11, 2008.
I previously described the program in an earlier blog, here.
The first announced change is to the name of the program itself—the new name is “Global Entry”.
The second change is that the program will start on June 6, 2008 which is four days earlier than the date announced in the April 11, 2008.
Finally, the new notice updates the contact information for the Enrollment Center at Washington Dulles International Airport, Sterling, Virginia. The new telephone number for that location is 703-661-2854; the new fax number is 703-661-0013.
