Skip the line at the airport when entering the USA with Mobile Passport app, now works at airports in San Jose and Minneapolis-St. Paul
The US Customs and Border Patrol's mobile passport app has been out for a little over a year. Lately they've been adding the streamlined customs process to approximately one airport a month, which means that every passenger airport in the country should get official support in the next few decades. Maybe by then the country's air travel system won't be a farcical crap-fest of corporate greed and government incompetence. But in the meantime, the mobile passport app is getting two new locations: San Jose and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Mineta San José International Airport and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport have been given clearance to start using the digital passport system. For the uninitiated, that's an app that replaces those little blue-and-white customs declarations forms when you re-enter the United States. The limitations on the app are still in place: you still have to be a US or Canadian citizen or a member of their household, and you still need to bring your physical passport. The app is basically just a way to avoid asking a stranger for a pen when your plane is pulling up to the gate.
As of now Mobile Passport is also accepted at airports in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Newark, New York (JFK), Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma, and Washington D.C. Aside from "bug fixes," the only other change in the latest update is an improvement to the document scanner feature.
