Global Entry does not explicitly appear on your boarding pass; however, if you're a Global Entry member, you're likely also eligible for TSA PreCheck. When you add your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to your airline profile or booking, the indication of TSA PreCheck eligibility, usually shown as "TSA PRE" or similar, will appear on your boarding pass. This serves as an indirect way of recognizing your Global Entry benefits at the airport.
