      Mobile Passport Control Alternatives: 10 Similar iPhone Apps in 2026

      By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated May 25, 2026 — live App Store data verified 1 min ago

      The short version

      Mobile Passport Control is CBP's official free app for speeding through U.S. customs by submitting passport and arrival info ahead of inspection. The closest peer is Global Entry Mobile, also from CBP, for enrolled Trusted Travelers. CBP Link adds land-border wait times and provisional I-94s, and Trusted Traveler Programs manages enrollment. Most other picks handle passport storage or photos, not border entry. Pick based on which border process you need.

      10 alternatives to Mobile Passport Control

      1. 1Mobile Passport by Airside icon

        #1Mobile Passport by Airside

        Airside Mobile LLC

        4.6(111.8K)
        Paid
        93% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Mobile Passport by Airside is the original Mobile Passport app and now redirects to CBP's official MPC app for the same purpose, submitting passport and arrival details to speed U.S. customs entry. Both serve the same airport and cruise-port process. It rates 4.59 across 111,828 ratings.

        How it differs

        Airside's app is now mainly a redirect to the official CBP MPC app rather than a separate working tool, since the function moved to CBP. It carries some paid features, so it duplicates what Mobile Passport Control does directly, making the official app the simpler choice.

      2. 2CBP Link icon

        #2CBP Link

        US Customs and Border Protection

        2.9(1.2K)
        Free
        88% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        CBP Link comes from the same agency as Mobile Passport Control and offers official border services, checking land-port wait times, viewing lane status, and applying for a provisional I-94 to speed land crossings. Both streamline U.S. entry through CBP. It rates 2.86.

        How it differs

        CBP Link focuses on land ports of entry and I-94 management rather than the airport and cruise customs Mobile Passport Control handles. Its 2.86 rating, well below MPC's 4.92, points to a rougher experience, so it suits land-border travelers needing wait times and I-94s.

        #3Global Entry Mobile

        US Customs and Border Protection

        Paid
        88% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Global Entry Mobile is the closest official peer, from CBP, letting enrolled Global Entry members verify and speed their U.S. arrival. Both shorten the customs line for eligible travelers using CBP's systems. At 4.8 across 6,608 ratings it is well-rated.

        How it differs

        Global Entry Mobile requires paid Global Entry membership, where Mobile Passport Control is free and open to most U.S. and Canadian passport holders. It suits frequent international travelers already enrolled in Global Entry rather than those wanting MPC's no-membership option.

      4. 4Passport.app icon

        #4Passport.app

        Travizory Border Security SA

        4.8(873)
        Paid
        86% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Passport.app shares Mobile Passport Control's travel-document focus, securely storing your passport on your phone, tracking expiry dates, and reminding you to renew. Both keep passport details handy for travel. It rates 4.78.

        How it differs

        Passport.app is a document wallet and renewal reminder, not a customs-entry tool, so it does not submit arrival info to CBP like Mobile Passport Control. It helps you avoid expired-passport surprises, so it complements MPC rather than replacing its border-entry function. It has 873 ratings.

      5. 5CBP ROAM icon

        #5CBP ROAM

        US Customs and Border Protection

        3.4(121)
        Free
        86% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        CBP ROAM is another official CBP app for reporting arrival, aimed at pleasure boaters and travelers entering at remote locations, with online reporting and video inspection. Both let you report entry to CBP without a long in-person process. It rates 3.36.

        How it differs

        CBP ROAM serves boaters and remote arrivals rather than the airport and cruise-port customs Mobile Passport Control handles. It is a limited pilot in some areas, and its 3.36 rating is low, so it suits boaters needing remote reporting over MPC's mainstream airport use.

      6. 6Trusted Traveler Programs icon

        #6Trusted Traveler Programs

        US Customs and Border Protection

        4.8(1.1K)
        Paid
        85% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Trusted Traveler Programs is an official CBP app for applying to and managing Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST, checking status, scheduling interviews, and updating documents. Both tie into CBP's faster-entry ecosystem. It rates 4.78.

        How it differs

        This app manages enrollment and membership rather than handling actual customs entry like Mobile Passport Control. You would use it to get into a program, then use a different tool to cross, so it complements MPC by setting up the trusted-traveler status behind faster lanes.

        Paid
        85% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        TravelPassport shares Mobile Passport Control's travel-organization spirit, managing trips, registering events by scanning tickets, and keeping travel documents in one place. Both aim to make travel smoother. It is feature-rich for trip planning.

        How it differs

        TravelPassport is a private trip-management app, not a CBP customs tool, so it does not submit arrival info for U.S. entry. It has no App Store ratings yet, leaving it unproven, so it suits travelers wanting itinerary organization over MPC's border-entry function.

      8. 8FlashPass icon

        #8FlashPass

        Movic LLC

        4.9(198)
        Paid
        85% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        FlashPass shares Mobile Passport Control's border-compliance purpose, filing the eAPIS passenger and crew manifests required for private aircraft crossing the U.S. and Mexico borders. Both streamline submitting required entry information to CBP. Its 4.92 rating matches MPC's across 198 ratings.

        How it differs

        FlashPass is built for private pilots filing flight manifests, not airport passengers clearing customs like Mobile Passport Control. It is a niche aviation-compliance tool, so it suits pilots managing eAPIS filings rather than general travelers using MPC at airports and ports.

        #9Passport Photo Maker & Editor

        Why it's similar

        Passport Photo Maker shares Mobile Passport Control's travel-document connection, creating compliant passport and visa photos that meet biometric standards for the US, UK, Schengen, and more. Both support the documentation side of international travel. It rates 4.75.

        How it differs

        This app makes passport photos for applications, not customs entry, so it has nothing to do with submitting arrival info to CBP like Mobile Passport Control. It helps you prepare a passport application, so it complements MPC rather than replacing its border function. It has 469 ratings.

        Free
        85% similar

        Why it's similar

        Mobile Passport Photo Maker shares Mobile Passport Control's document-prep angle, making compliant passport, ID, and visa photos from your phone to global standards. Both support the paperwork side of travel. Its 4.91 rating nearly matches MPC's across 34 ratings.

        How it differs

        This app creates ID and passport photos, not customs entry, so it does not submit arrival info to CBP like Mobile Passport Control. It is for preparing photo requirements before travel, so it complements MPC rather than replacing its border-entry role. With 34 ratings it is small.

      How we ranked these 10 alternatives

      Embedding similarity

      Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Mobile Passport Control, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.

      Re-ranking signals

      We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.

      Refresh cadence

      The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
