Global Entry

-->trusted traveler program enrollment -->.

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. Members enter the United States by accessing the Global Entry processing technology at selected airports .

At airports, program members proceed to the Global Entry lanes where processing technology will be used to expedite the members by capturing a photo to verify their membership. Once the photo has been captured, the member will receive on-screen instructions and proceed to a CBP officer who will confirm that you have successfully completed the process.

Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment. If a traveler was unable to schedule an interview at an Enrollment Center prior to their international travel, they have an option to complete their interview via Enrollment on Arrival upon their arrival to the United States.

Another upcoming processing technology option for travelers will be the Global Entry Mobile App. This app will enable members to validate their arrival to the U.S. on their iOS or Android device prior to entering the Federal Inspection Services area.

While Global Entry’s goal is to speed travelers through the process, members may still be selected for further examination when entering the United States. Any violation of the program’s terms and conditions will result in the appropriate enforcement action and termination of the traveler’s membership privileges.

Safeguard Your Documents!  Make copies of all your travel documents.  Leave one copy with a trusted friend or relative and carry the other separately from your original documents.  Also take a photograph of your travel documents with your phone to have an electronic copy.

• Passport:  Check your passport expiration dates as soon as you start planning a trip, and remember passports issued to children under 16 are only valid for only five years.  Some countries – including most of Europe – will require that your passport expiration date is at least six months away.  If you need a new passport, apply  early to allow for delays; click here for passport information.
• Visas:  Check with the embassy of your destination regarding visa requirements.
• Medications:  Some prescription drugs (including narcotics) and some U.S. over-the-counter medications are illegal in other countries. Check with the  embassy of your destination(s)  about regulations and documentation before you travel.
• Consent for Travel with Minors:  If you are traveling alone with children, foreign border officials may require custody documents or notarized written consent from the other parent. Check with the  embassy of your foreign destination  before traveling to see what you may need.
• International Driving Permit:  Many countries do not recognize a U.S. driver's license, but most accept an  International Driving Permit  (IDP). You may also need supplemental auto insurance. Read more about  driving and road safety abroad before you go.

Importance of Travel Insurance

• The U.S. government does not provide insurance for U.S. citizens overseas. We do not pay medical bills or unexpected costs. We highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance before you travel to cover emergency medical care, either as part of or separate from trip cancellation insurance.
• Health Insurance: Medical facilities and providers abroad may require cash up front and may not accept U.S. insurance plans.  U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not provide coverage outside the United States.  Check your health care policy to see if it will cover you overseas.  If not, consider buying  supplemental insurance .  Make sure the insurance you purchase covers any special medical needs or risks you anticipate on your trip.

Introduction

Scanning a passport is an essential step when it comes to international travel. Whether you are planning a vacation, studying abroad, or going on a business trip, having a digital copy of your passport can be incredibly useful. It allows you to easily access your passport information, share it with authorities or travel agencies when needed, and provides an extra layer of security in case of loss or theft.

Scanning a passport used to be a cumbersome and time-consuming process, but with advancements in technology, it has become much simpler and more accessible. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of scanning your passport, from gathering the necessary materials to safely storing the scanned copy.

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to note that you should always consult the specific guidelines and regulations of your country when it comes to scanning passports. Different countries may have different requirements or restrictions, so it’s crucial to stay informed and ensure you are following the appropriate guidelines.

Step 1: Gather the Required Materials

Before you can start scanning your passport, you will need to gather a few essential materials. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A passport scanning application: You can use a scanning application on your smartphone or computer to digitize your passport. There are numerous scanning apps available, both free and paid, for various operating systems. Take some time to research and choose a reliable app that fits your needs.
• A well-lit environment: Ensure that you have ample lighting in the area where you will be scanning your passport. Good lighting conditions are crucial for capturing clear and accurate scans.
• A flat surface: Find a sturdy and flat surface to place your passport on during the scanning process. This will help prevent any unnecessary movement or blurring of the scanned image.
• A clean passport: Make sure your passport is free from any dirt, smudges, or obstructions that could interfere with the scanning process. Use a soft cloth or tissue to gently clean the surface of your passport if needed.
• A stable hand or a tripod (optional): While not a necessity, using a stable hand or a tripod can help minimize any potential shaking or movement that may result in blurry scans. If using a smartphone, you can also consider using a smartphone stand or tripod attachment.

Once you have gathered these materials, you are ready to move on to the next step: opening the scanning application.

Step 2: Open the Scanning Application

Now that you have all the necessary materials, it’s time to open the scanning application on your device. Follow these steps:

• If you are using a smartphone, locate the scanning application in your app drawer or home screen. If you haven’t installed a scanning app yet, head to your device’s app store and search for a reputable one. Download and install the app of your choice.
• If you are using a computer, open your preferred web browser and search for a passport scanning application. There are various online tools available that offer passport scanning services without the need for software installation.
• Once you have opened the scanning application, familiarize yourself with its features and settings. Take note of any specific instructions or recommendations provided by the app developer.

It’s important to choose a scanning application that is user-friendly and offers the necessary functionalities for scanning passports. Look for features such as automatic cropping, image enhancement, and options to save the scanned passport as a PDF or image file.

After you have successfully opened the scanning application, you are now ready to proceed to the next step: positioning the passport for scanning.

Step 3: Position the Passport

Positioning your passport correctly is crucial to ensure accurate and high-quality scans. Follow these guidelines to properly position your passport for scanning:

• Place your passport on a flat and clean surface, such as a table or desk. Make sure there are no shadows or obstructions blocking the passport.
• Align the bottom edge of the passport with the edge of the scanning area or the frame provided by the scanning application. This will help in capturing the entire passport without any parts being cut off.
• Ensure that the passport is centered within the scanning area. This will help maintain symmetry and prevent any skewed or distorted scans.
• If you are using a smartphone, hold your device parallel to the passport at a comfortable distance. Make sure your hand is stable to avoid any unwanted movements.
• If you are using a computer with a built-in camera or an external webcam, position it directly above the passport to achieve a straight and clear view.
• Take a moment to review the positioning of the passport. Double-check that everything is aligned properly before proceeding with the scanning process.

Remember, accuracy and clarity are key when positioning the passport for scanning. Taking the time to ensure proper alignment will result in better quality scans.

Once you have positioned your passport correctly, you are now ready to move on to the next step: beginning the scanning process.

Step 4: Begin the Scanning Process

With your passport properly positioned, it’s time to start the scanning process. Follow these steps to begin scanning your passport:

• In the scanning application, locate the button or option to start the scanning process. It may be labeled as “Scan”, “Capture”, or something similar.
• If using a smartphone, tap the scanning button to capture the image. Ensure that your hand is steady and avoid any sudden movements that may result in a blurry scan.
• If using a computer with a webcam, click the scanning button to capture the image. Make sure to maintain a stable position and avoid any shaking or jostling of the camera.
• Once the image is captured, the scanning application may prompt you to review the scan before saving it. Take a moment to review the quality and clarity of the scanned passport.
• If you are satisfied with the scan, proceed to save the image or document according to the instructions provided by the scanning application. You may have the option to save it as a PDF file, an image file, or in another supported format.

It’s essential to ensure that the scanned passport is clear, legible, and free from any distortions or blurs. If the scan appears unclear or if any information is missing or cut off, consider retaking the scan to achieve a better result.

Once you have successfully captured and saved the scanned passport, it’s time to move on to the next step: reviewing and verifying the scanned information.

Step 5: Review and Save the Scanned Passport

After scanning your passport, it’s important to review the scanned image or document to ensure its accuracy and completeness. Follow these steps to review and save the scanned passport:

• Open the saved scan using the scanning application or any image viewing software on your device.
• Zoom in on the scanned passport image to carefully inspect the details. Pay close attention to the passport number, your personal information, and any stamps or annotations present.
• Check for any blurriness or distortions that may affect the legibility of the scanned passport. If necessary, retake the scan or make adjustments to improve the quality.
• Compare the scanned information with your physical passport to ensure accuracy. Check for any discrepancies or missing details that require your attention.
• If you are satisfied with the scanned passport and it accurately represents the information in your physical document, proceed to save the scan in a secure location on your device.
• Consider creating a separate folder or directory specifically for storing scanned passports and other important travel documents. This will help you easily locate and access them when needed.
• Choose a file name that is descriptive and recognizable, such as “Scanned_Passport_John_Doe” or “Digital_Copy_Passport_2022”.
• Save the scanned passport document in a format that is widely supported, such as PDF or JPEG.

By reviewing and saving the scanned passport, you create a digital backup that can be easily accessed and shared whenever required. This provides an added layer of security and convenience during your travels.

Once you have reviewed and saved the scanned passport, it’s time to move on to the next step: verifying the scanned information to ensure accuracy.

Step 6: Verify the Scanned Information

Verifying the accuracy of the scanned passport information is an essential step to ensure the integrity of your digital copy. Follow these steps to verify the scanned information:

• Compare the scanned information, such as your name, date of birth, passport number, and expiration date, with the physical copy of your passport.
• Check for any spelling errors or discrepancies between the scanned and physical passport. If you notice any inconsistencies, retake the scan or consult the appropriate authorities for guidance.
• Verify that the scanned passport image is clear and legible, allowing for easy identification of your personal information and photograph.
• Examine any stamps, visas, or annotations on the scanned passport to ensure they are visible and accurately represented.
• Pay attention to the quality of the scanned barcode, if applicable, to ensure that it can be scanned and read correctly when necessary.
• If you discover any issues or inaccuracies with the scanned information, consider contacting the relevant authorities, such as your country’s passport agency or embassy, for further assistance.
• Make a note of any important details or observations related to the scanned passport for future reference. This can be useful in case you need to provide additional information or clarification during your travels.

Verifying the scanned information helps ensure that your digital copy of the passport is a reliable and accurate representation of your physical document. It provides peace of mind and can be invaluable in various situations where you may need to present your passport information.

After verifying the scanned information, it’s time to move on to the final step: safely storing the scanned passport.

Step 7: Safely Store the Scanned Passport

Once you have completed the scanning and verification process, it’s important to store your scanned passport in a safe and secure manner. Follow these steps to ensure the safekeeping of your digital copy:

• Create a backup of the scanned passport on an external hard drive or cloud storage service. This provides an extra layer of protection in case your device is lost, damaged, or stolen.
• Consider encrypting the scanned passport file to prevent unauthorized access. Many encryption software programs or applications are available to securely protect your important documents.
• Keep a copy of the scanned passport in a separate location, such as a USB drive or email it to yourself. This ensures that you have an accessible copy even if your primary device or storage fails.
• Label and organize the scanned passport file appropriately for easy retrieval. Create a dedicated folder or directory on your chosen storage location specifically for storing scanned passports and related documents.
• Keep your device’s software and security features up to date to safeguard against potential cyber threats and data breaches.
• Avoid sharing the scanned passport file with unauthorized individuals or unsecured platforms. Only share it with trusted sources or when required for official purposes.
• Regularly review and update your scanned passport file as needed. If any changes or renewals occur with your physical passport, ensure that your digital copy reflects the updated information.
• If you decide to print a hard copy of the scanned passport, store it in a secure location, such as a locked drawer or a safe deposit box.

By taking these precautions, you can ensure the safety and accessibility of your scanned passport. It provides a reliable backup in case of emergencies, loss, or theft, allowing you to retrieve important information quickly and effectively during your travels.

With the completion of Step 7, you have successfully learned how to scan, verify, and store your passport digitally. By following these steps, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing that you have a secure copy of your passport readily available whenever you need it.

Safe travels!

Scanning your passport and creating a digital copy is a valuable practice that enhances the convenience, accessibility, and security of your travel documentation. By following the step-by-step guide provided, you can easily and effectively scan your passport and ensure the accuracy of the scanned information.

From gathering the necessary materials to safely storing the scanned passport, each step plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of your digital copy. Remember to choose a reliable scanning application, position the passport properly, and review the scanned information for accuracy and clarity.

Storing the scanned passport securely, creating backups, and taking necessary precautions will further safeguard your digital copy. This ensures that you have a reliable backup of your passport information, readily accessible whenever needed, while minimizing the risks of loss, theft, or damage to your physical passport.

However, it’s important to note that a scanned copy of your passport is not a replacement for the physical document. Always carry your original passport when traveling and follow the regulations and guidelines provided by the relevant authorities.

By incorporating these practices into your travel preparations, you can confidently embark on your journeys, knowing that you have a reliable digital backup of your passport. Streamlining the scanning process not only provides convenience but also reinforces the security and safety of your important travel documents.

For international travel: you're covered worldwide for urgent and emergency care.

First, know that  all  SCAN plans provide worldwide coverage for urgent and emergency care.

Most vacation plans don’t include a visit to the emergency room! But with SCAN Travel Assurance, you can travel with confidence, knowing that whenever you travel outside the U.S., your SCAN coverage goes, too.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Travel Benefit

Q: how will i be reimbursed for my emergency care and will scan cover the full cost of the care.

If you receive care for a medical emergency while you're traveling, make sure to save all of your medical receipts. Complete the Travel Assurance Form that's right for you (either foreign travel or domestic travel within the U.S.) and provide detailed information related to the care you received. You can send the form, receipts and related information to SCAN via email, fax or mail.

SCAN will reimburse you for covered out-of-network emergency and urgent care services at Original Medicare reimbursement rates less any copays associated with your care. You will be responsible for any remaining costs.

Q: I’m going to be away from home for several months. Can I see another doctor for my regular physical exam while I’m away?

The short answer is no. Your SCAN plan doesn’t include coverage for routine or preventive care while you’re away from your regular doctor. The travel benefit covers you for the unexpected illnesses and injuries you can’t predict and plan for.

Better to plan ahead and schedule an appointment with your doctor before you leave to get vaccines you’ll need while traveling, refills on your prescriptions to last while you’re away and any other regular care needed.

Q: Will I have to pay to see a doctor when I’m away from home?

Whenever you receive care, always show your SCAN ID card so they know you’re a SCAN member. Some out-of-area doctors and hospitals will bill SCAN directly so you’ll only have to pay your copayments. Others may require you to pay them and then get reimbursed from SCAN.

Q: Do I need to buy travel insurance since I have SCAN Travel Assurance?

You should consider it. SCAN Travel Assurance is not travel insurance. While Original Medicare does not cover worldwide emergency and urgent care are SCAN does. SCAN Travel Assurance applies whether you’re traveling outside your SCAN service area or outside of the U.S. or its territories.

We also recommend that you purchase medical travel insurance to help you pay for any unforeseen medical incidents while traveling outside of the country. This type of policy can protect you from paying higher out-of-pocket medical expenses for services not covered by your SCAN plan while traveling internationally.

SCAN Travel Assurance outlines the coverage available when you travel internationally. Many SCAN benefits can also be used when traveling inside the United States with SCAN on the go . Learn more about SCAN on the go benefits here .
