The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced an exciting opportunity for Global Entry applicants in Florida and surrounding states. From June 10-18, 2025, CBP will host a special seven-day enrollment event at the JAXPORT Cruise Terminal in Jacksonville, offering conditionally approved applicants a convenient way to complete their Global Entry interviews.
Event Details and Location
The enrollment event will take place at:
- Location: JAXPORT Cruise Terminal, 9810 August Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32226
- Dates: June 10-13 and June 16-18, 2025
- Hours: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM daily
This event is particularly significant for applicants in north Florida and surrounding states, as it provides a local opportunity to complete the enrollment process without traveling to a permanent enrollment center.
Important Updates for 2025
CBP has implemented a notable change for families applying for Global Entry: applicants under 18 years old will no longer have to pay the $120 application fee when a parent or legal guardian is already a member or is applying concurrently. This change makes the program more accessible for families traveling together.
How to Schedule Your Interview
Conditionally approved applicants can schedule their interview through the Trusted Traveler Portal (TTP) by selecting "Jacksonville Mobile Event" as their location. While walk-ins may be accommodated if space permits, we recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure you can complete your enrollment.
What to Bring to Your Interview
To ensure a smooth enrollment process, bring the following documents:
- Valid passport
- Driver's license or state-issued ID
- Proof of residency
- Any other documents requested in your conditional approval letter
Alternative Enrollment Options
If you can't attend this event, remember that CBP offers Enrollment on Arrival (EoA) at participating airports. This allows you to complete your interview when returning from international travel. However, if you're looking for a more convenient option, you can check current wait times at permanent enrollment centers by visiting our locations page.
