The use of MPC streamlines the traveler\u2019s entry process into the United States by reducing passport control inspection time and overall wait time. Much like Automated Passport Control (APC), use of MPC is free and does not require pre-approval. Travelers who successfully use an authorized MPC app will no longer have to complete a paper form or use an APC kiosk. As a result, travelers may experience shorter wait times, less congestion and efficient processing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Global Entry<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/trusted-traveler-programs\/global-entry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more about Global Entry &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>NEXUS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The NEXUS program allows pre-screened travelers expedited processing when entering Canada and the United States.
