Description
Been using Mobile Passport Control for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you skip the long lines at customs when you’re traveling back to the US. Pretty solid if you do a lot of international trips.
Here’s what you do – you enter your passport info, answer a few questions about your trip, and take a quick selfie. Then the app gives you a digital receipt with a QR code that you show to the customs agent. There’s also an option to add your whole family or travel group. Saves a ton of time, especially at busy airports.
Look, if you travel internationally even a few times a year, this app is worth checking out. It’s not perfect – the app can be a bit buggy sometimes and the setup process takes a few minutes. But overall it does the job and gets you through customs way faster.
Editor Opinion
I've tested a bunch of travel apps and Mobile Passport Control is one of the better ones. It's not as full-featured as some other customs/immigration apps, but it's dead simple to use and the time savings are legit. The selfie feature works well and I haven't had any issues with the digital receipt. Only real downside is the setup can be a bit confusing if you've never used it before. But once you get it set up, it's super convenient. Definitely recommend if you travel internationally on a regular basis.
