Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is a free and secure app designed to streamline the process of entering the United States for eligible travelers. This app allows users to submit their travel documents, photo, and customs declaration information directly from their smartphone. By using MPC, travelers can significantly reduce the time spent at passport control and overall wait times. The app is user-friendly and does not require any pre-approval, enabling travelers to experience shorter lines and less congestion. Successful MPC users may be directed to a special line for expedited processing.
To get started with MPC, download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once the app is installed, create a profile by entering your passport or Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) card information. If you are arriving at a preclearance location, select “Preclearance” and choose your departing Preclearance Port of Entry. For arrivals at U.S. airports, select “U.S. airport” and then your arrival airport or seaport and terminal. After setting up your profile, take a self-photo and answer the CBP inspection-related questions before submitting your transaction through the app. Finally, present your physical passport to a CBP officer for final inspection.
MPC is available to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, Canadian B1/B2 Visa Holders, and Returning Visa Waiver Program Applicants. The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. Before using MPC, check the list of current MPC-approved sites to ensure your destination supports the service. By utilizing MPC, travelers can enjoy a smoother and quicker entry process into the United States, making travel more efficient and less stressful. Download the MPC app today to streamline your next trip.
The Global Entry program provides expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers using automated kiosks at select airports.

Live data: For the majority of the airports we track we use live data from the airport. For the remaining airports we provide an estimate, and we communicate that it’s a best-guess only.
Search: By airport name, IATA code, city, county, country or region. To save you time, we keep your last visited airports on the front page. If you can’t find an airport, contact us using the contact form and we will look to add it.
Current average wait time: The airport’s latest average security, passport control or customs queue wait time. If the airport has multiple queues, we display the average of them. If you want a more granular view that includes wait times for individual queues, take a look at the terminal level wait times. We regularly update each airport’s data, but make sure you click the “i” icon to check when the last update was made.
Terminal level wait times: The latest security or customs queue wait time for individual terminals. Click on the terminal to access more information at the terminal level. Please note that this data is not available for all airports. We are working to expand this functionality to as many airports as possible.

Our sources for wait time data vary and may include air travel data aggregators, federal agencies such as the TSA, CATSA CBP, or information from the airport and its affiliated service providers. For some airports, Qsensor utilises its proprietary queue modelling technology to project wait times. Additionally, we crowdsource data from passengers that have inputted their wait time using the “Add Wait Time” button.
Qsensor is not affiliated with any airport, airline, or associated service provider.
We regularly check queue times and flight delays for accuracy, however all times are estimates and waiting times and delays may not accurately reflect your experience. It is advisable to arrive at the airport well in advance and follow the recommendations of the airlines and airports.
There are a wide array of ways that queue data is measured. Including but not limited to looking at how long a passenger takes to get from scanning their boarding pass to exiting the security or customs area. Auditing passengers on how long it took them to pass through security or customs as well as Qsensors’ proprietary system for user added wait times.
