Notes from CBP
YOU MUST BRING A VALID PASSPORT. [email protected] PARKING: Please park in the public parking area for the airport (The airport does charge for the first two hours of parking). Do NOT park in any CBP or Employee parking spaces. NOTE: Private flights land on short notice and can temporarily divert the officers out of the enrollment center. This may mean that applicants will have to wait until an officer is able to return and continue the interview. CBP thanks you for your patience.

FAQ
How do I book a Global Entry interview at Rockford-Chicago International Airport?
Apply and get conditional approval on ttp.dhs.gov, then pick Rockford-Chicago International Airport in the official scheduler. When we checked (Oct 28, 2026, 3:28 AM UTC), the soonest open slot was Thu Nov 5, 2026, 11:40 AM.
What should I bring to the Global Entry interview?
CBP asks for a valid passport (or a permanent resident card for lawful permanent residents) and a document that proves your current address, such as a driver's license or a utility bill. Check your conditional approval letter for the full list.
Do I have to interview at an enrollment center?
No. Conditionally approved applicants can use Enrollment on Arrival when they return from an international trip at participating airports, with no appointment.
Is Global Entry worth it over TSA PreCheck?
Global Entry costs $120 for 5 years and includes TSA PreCheck, plus faster U.S. customs when you come home from abroad. If you will fly internationally at all in the next 5 years, it is usually the better value; the trade-off is a CBP interview.
