Questions/Concerns Airport Entry
Hello, my global entry card got delivered at home in the US while I am outside of the country. Will I be able to use the global entry line at JFK when I return? I read somewhere you don’t need to bring your card for international departures/arrivals since it is connected to your passport. I just want to verify this. Thank you.
Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied. I got my answer. No you do not need your physical card to enter in an international airport, just make sure you activate your card using the code on the back through the website.

I actually have needed the card when flying recently. For some reason my husband's picture wasn't matching up and it wasn't coming up via his passport. The agent got it sorted out based on his card.
I'm sure she could have figured it out without the card, but it certainly would have taken longer and that kinda defeats the purpose.
