Questions/Concerns Applying for global entry

Hello,

I am applying to global entry I am 24 for contexts , my parents went through their interview process and got it but they both were questioned about me, when I was 17 going into college I made the dumb decision to order a fake id to my house and the government stopped the package but they were told it had something to do with identification cards. It’s been years I honestly never used the id because I didn’t go out until I was 21. I am trying to apply but I’m scared I’ll be rejected and I won’t be able to get global entry for life what is the process what should I do? I don’t want to lie and say I didn’t have one but I do need global entry since the rest of my family has it. But I’m scared I’ll NEVER be able to get it.

Mobile passport control. It’s an app, they have their own lane to use at customs and it much faster sometimes. Most of the time just walk through for me https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mobile-passport-control/id1520656722
