CBP charges the same $120 adult fee for a new Global Entry application and a renewal. It is a government fee, not a travel-package price.

How to use this figure

Use this page to total adult Global Entry applications at the CBP fee. Renewal uses the same adult fee as a new application.

  1. Count adults who will each file. The estimator multiplies that count by the official $120 fee.
  2. Do not add children unless you already know they are charged. The page will not guess the $0 minor case.
  3. Treat interview travel and a replacement card as separate costs. They are named in the exclusions.

What the result means

Two adults are $240. CBP published $120 per adult application or renewal for five years. CBP did not publish the household total.

A comparison that stays on this source

A passport book is a State Department fee on another page. Global Entry does not include the passport fee.

If the number looks wrong

  • The $25 replacement-card fee is excluded on purpose.
  • If you expected a discounted renewal, check the CBP schedule again. This record uses the published adult fee for both actions.

This is not a travel-package price and not a CalcMage trip budget.

Record last verified 2026-09-06. That date is the record’s verification stamp, not a claim that a market price is unchanged today.

Official fee: line items come from a published schedule. Optional adders appear only when that schedule names them.

High evidence confidence

High evidence confidence is an internal CostMage evidence-quality score (81 of 100). It describes source strength and extract completeness, not the probability that a quoted figure matches your bill.

Labels: 75–100 high, 60–74 moderate, below 60 limited. The number is not a probability that the cost is correct.

    Adult $120. Certain minors $0. Replacement card $25 is a separate fee.

What changes the cost

  • Number of adult applicants
  • Whether a child qualifies for the minor exemption

Methodology

CostMage repeats the official CBP fee. The estimator is adults × $120. Minor exemptions are disclosed, not guessed.

Limitations

  • The fee is non-refundable even if denied.
  • Replacement cards are $25 and are not included in the $120.
  • Do not treat this as SENTRI or NEXUS application math without checking those schedules.

Questions

Is renewal cheaper than a new application?

No. CBP charges the same $120 adult fee for renewal.

Does $120 include the interview?

It is the CBP application fee. You still complete the enrollment process. Travel to an enrollment center is extra.

Are children $120 each?

CBP states certain minors are $0. CostMage does not guess eligibility, so the estimator only multiplies adult applications.
