Global Entry has made international travel a million time easier. But, if you’re changing your name after marriage you’ll need to change your name with Global Entry when you change your name on you U.S. passport. Global Entry is managed by US Customs and Border Protection. Here’s everything you need to know about changing your Global Entry married name change, courtesy of the MissNowMrs name change experts!

Step 1: Global Entry Married Name Change Requires Changing Your Passport

The first step of a Global Entry name update is to change your passport. File the DS-11 or DS-5504 to update your U.S. passport with your married name. If you’re curious about that process, we have a step-by-step passport name change guide to help you! When you receive your new passport in the mail it’s time to move on to Step 2.

Step 2: What Documentation Is Required To Change Your Name On Global Entry

Collect all of the necessary documents needed to change your name with Global Entry. This includes your new U.S. passport in your new married name, your old U.S. passport in your maiden name (it will be mailed back to you along with your new passport,) and your certified marriage certificate.

Step 3: Confirm With The Global Entry Enrollment Center

Head to a Global Entry Enrollment Center to update your name. *An appointment isn’t necessary. But, it’s a good idea to call the center ahead of your arrival regarding your intention to change your name. Specifically ask what documents they require to update your name and passport in their system to avoid any confusion. You should be prepared to pay a $25 fee if you choose to replace your Global Entry card. Your official Global Entry card will be mailed to you in a few weeks.

When international travel is involved we always advice MissNowMrs clients to err on the side of caution. It is possible to update your Global Entry before boarding a flight. But, if you have time try to go a week prior (or more) to your flight. This allows time to handle any issues that may arise, and helps you avoid missing your intended flight. If you have more questions about name change don’t hesitate to head over to the MissNowMrs newlywed blog. Or you can read our name change + travel article in Travel & Leisure.

Is updating my name on the global entry portal sufficient

No. While the portal does allow you to change your name online, the change is not approved or official until you are verified through an in person visit.

If my passport, global entry and flight show different names is that ok?

No. For international travel the name on your Passport must match the name on your flight ticket. Additionally, to take advantage of Global Entry your name on your Passport must match the name on your Passport.
