Mobile Passport Control is an official U.S. Customs and Border Protection app for eligible travelers arriving at participating U.S. ports of entry. It lets you enter passport and travel details, answer inspection questions, and send the information to CBP from your phone. After submitting, you receive a digital receipt to show during processing. The app is for people who want to handle these steps digitally rather than fill out a paper declaration on arrival; it does not replace the CBP inspection.
You can create a profile for yourself and submit information for a group of up to 12 travelers. That makes it a practical option for families or other groups arriving together, as well as frequent travelers who would rather not re-enter the same biographic and passport details each trip. You’ll still need to check that you’re eligible and that your arrival location supports MPC: availability is not universal.
The app concentrates on one part of a trip: getting arrival information to border officials. It is not a general itinerary planner or a place to manage flights and hotels. The flow involves entering details, completing the questions, and capturing photos for travelers in the submission. That makes it most relevant shortly before or during an eligible arrival, rather than something most people will use every day.
Published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Mobile Passport Control has a 4.87 rating from about 120,000 ratings and more than 1 million installs. Those figures suggest many travelers find a clear use for it, though the app’s value depends on eligibility and participating locations. If your route qualifies, it can help you prepare the required information before reaching an officer; if not, it may have little role in your trip.
