Your redress number is not found on your Global Entry card. It is a unique number issued to resolve travel screening issues. If you've been wrongly delayed or denied boarding, you can apply for a redress number through the Department of Homeland Security's Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP). Once obtained, you should provide this number when booking flights or entering it in your trusted traveler profile, such as Global Entry, to help avoid future screening problems.
