If you never received your Global Entry card, first, ensure your application was fully approved and that you have paid any necessary fees. If everything is in order, log in to your Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) account to check the status of your card. It typically takes 7-10 business days after approval for the card to be mailed. If it has been longer, you can report your card as not received through your TTP account or contact Global Entry support for further assistance. Ensure your address is up to date in your account to avoid delivery issues.
