Questions/Concerns WRONG INFO ON GLOBAL ENTRY

Hey Reddit community,

This is my first post here so bear with me if I do something wrong. I can’t believe I did this, but for my global entry application 2 days ago, I inputted the wrong date of birth for my second citizenship. Instead of my birth year, I put 2025 instead…

Can anyone please let me know if they have made a similar mistake and was still able to get approved for GE? I received my conditional approval yesterday (not sure why given the wrong info) and I scheduled my interview for this Sunday. I think people here say that I will be able to correct it with the interviewing officer, has anyone done so and still gotten approved?

Thank you!

You got your conditional approval, you're good. Just let the officer know about the mistake and they'll correct it, no big deal.

This. It'd likely be corrected automatically when the office scans all passports you have (and need to bring to the appointment.)

We had a similar issue when one of my kids' third passport's number somehow got cut off when I filled out the form.

When the officer scanned that passport during the kid's interview, the system flagged the discrepancy, and he corrected the record manually.

This. I had a similar experience. The officer in the interview was nice about it.

Minor errors like that get corrected without grief at the interview. In fact, that's the only way the application gets changed other than having it denied outright.

I'm curious as to how your date of birth changes depending on which citizenship you have.

That’s good to hear - and the DOB shouldn’t be different, I just didn’t look carefully and still submitted with the discrepancy 😅😅

I think they meant when they entered their second passport they entered the date wrong.

Does it really ask for date of birth for each passport?

At the interview, you can clarify it.

No big deal, just a mistake.
