The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) developed the Automated Passport Control (APC) and Mobile Passport Control (MPC) programs to streamline the processing of eligible travelers entering the United States. These programs were built to allow travelers to voluntarily submit their travel document, photograph, and customs declaration information using a self-service kiosk (i.e. APC) or a mobile device application (i.e. MPC) to streamline the traveler's entry process into the United States by reducing passport control inspection time and overall wait time. CBP is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment to document the retirement of APC and document the expansion of MPC. November 2023
