Great news! Automated Passport Control (APC) has been introduced at American Airlines Terminal 8 at New York’s – JFK Airport.
Customers from Visa Waiver Countries, ESTA and Lawful Permanent Residents can speed through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection process by utilizing a self-service kiosk.
The service is free and does not require pre-registration or membership.
How does the Automated Passport Control program work?
Customers do not need to fill out a Customs declaration form, they can proceed directly to the APC kiosks in the passport control area.
- Customers are prompted to scan their passport, take a photograph using the kiosk, and answer a series of questions.
- Once customers have completed the series of questions and submitted their Customs declaration form, a receipt will be issued.
- The kiosks allow people residing at the same address to be processed together.
- Visa Waiver Program visitors must have Electronic System for Travel Authorizations (ESTA) approval prior to travel and have visited the United States on at least one occasion after 2008.
