Global Entry Program Goes Live in Denver on Monday

Faster customs to be offered at DIA for ‘low-risk’ travelers (Denver Business Journal)
Global Entry is a voluntary program in which “low-risk” international travelers who pay $100 and pass a screening and interview process are allowed to bypass the line of international travelers waiting for processing by a customers and border officer, Ruiz said.

“Membership is for five years and it expedites your entry into 24 major airports in the U.S.,” he said.

Travelers are “processed by biometric identification using a designated kiosk” — a process that cuts average wait times by more than 70 percent, according to the agency.
