Adding a new car to Global Entry

mufflerbearings - 12-16-2022 at 09:26 AM

I've acquired a new car which I need to add to Global Entry. The GE dashboard makes this a very straightforward task. However, the car still has the temporary paper license plates issued at the dealership. Does anyone know if it's permissible to add the car using the VIN and temporary plates and then update on the GE dashboard when the permanent plates arrive?

Can't you go to AAA or the DMV and get plates immediately?

I know I've gotten plates at AAA before.

I didn't think of this, but it's worth a shot! :light: I'll hit AAA today and find out.

AAA was a good idea, JZ, but according to them, I'm at the mercy of DMV's processing time. Bummer.

I would put the plate and vin that you have now and adjust later. They want the info that is captured on camera to match what's in your profile when you hit booth.
