Oklahoma City residents who already hold conditional approval for Trusted Traveler programs can complete their final Global Entry interview locally this month, avoiding a trip to another city. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will hold on-site enrollment sessions at Will Rogers International Airport from July 28–30, a timely convenience as the airport expands its international routes.
Local interviews, limited window
The temporary enrollment event is open only to applicants who have received conditional approval through the Department of Homeland Security’s Trusted Traveler Programs. Appointments are required and will take place at the CBP office located at the east end of the baggage claim area at Will Rogers International Airport.

Global Entry speeds up re-entry to the United States for pre-approved, low-risk travelers by streamlining the customs process—making the interviews particularly useful for frequent international flyers based in the metro area.
- Who can attend: Applicants with conditional approval from DHS Trusted Traveler Programs.
- When: July 28–30 (appointments required).
- Where: CBP office, east end of the baggage claim area, Will Rogers International Airport.
- Why it matters: Completes the final step for Global Entry without traveling to another city, aligning with OKC’s growing international connections.
Airport leadership sees broader benefits
Jeff Mulder, director of airports, said bringing the enrollment sessions to OKC adds a practical perk for both locals and visitors. He linked the decision to recent route expansion—most notably the airport’s new nonstop service to Cancun—and said the move supports further international growth by enhancing traveler convenience.
The limited appointment window means eligible applicants should secure their slot promptly. While this event is temporary, it underscores a larger trend: as Will Rogers adds more international destinations, local access to services that speed border processing becomes increasingly valuable.
For travelers who frequently cross international borders, completing the interview locally removes an extra layer of travel planning and can shorten the time between conditional approval and full Global Entry enrollment.
