👶 Global Entry for Minors (Under 16)

Every traveler, regardless of age — must have their own Global Entry membership to use the kiosks and enjoy expedited processing. This includes infants, toddlers, and teens under 16.

🖥️ Application Must Be Submitted by a Parent or Guardian

Minors cannot apply on their own. A parent or legal guardian must:

• Create a TTP account on behalf of the child
• Submit a separate application
• Pay the non-refundable $120.00 fee per child

📅 In-Person Interview Is Still Required

Even minors must complete an in-person interview.

👨‍👧 A parent or legal guardian must accompany the child to the interview appointment.

✈️ TSA PreCheck Note for Kids Under 13

Children under 13 can go through TSA PreCheck lanes with a parent or guardian who has PreCheck, even if the child doesn’t.

🔒 However, for Global Entry, kids must be enrolled individually to use the expedited entry kiosks.

📌 Key Takeaways

• ✅ Global Entry is not automatically included with a parent’s membership
• ✅ Each child must apply and be approved
• ✅ Full process includes payment, interview, and passport
• ✅ Saves time for families who travel internationally
