Once the Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) website pulls up the traveler information, the renewal can be started. Each household member has to submit a separate application and separate email accounts are needed to set up the new accounts. Once set-up, the system uses the Membership number or PASSID from the Global Entry card to link the new account with the old GOES information. So we had to first set up an account using their new system called. Our original applications in 2013 were submitted using the GOES system, which is no longer used by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The website states that if the renewal application is sent in before the expiration date, then the Global Entry benefits are valid for up to six months following expiration, until the application is processed. With upcoming international trips, we had to move quickly and complete our renewal forms. All too suddenly, the expiration date was staring us in the face. But we were too preoccupied with life, in general. Membership renewals can be applied for one year prior to the expiration date which would have been summer of last year, for our family. Global Entry membership expires after 5 years, on each member’s birthday. Subsequently, we have enjoyed five years of Precheck and Global Entry privileges. In June 2013, our family made a weekend trip to Houston to complete the interview for Global Entry.
