They don't even deserve 1 star. All they do is take your money and then disappear. I paid the fees in Feb. My trip was July 6th, I still yet to get my passport and all i was getting was a renewal. It's July 9th, and still no passport. Needless to say, I didn't go on my trip. Lost all that money all because this company DOES NOTHING FOR YOU!!! It was me that had to call and spend hours on the phone with the passport office just to be told there are no emergency appointments available. All this company did was take my money and disappeared. No help, no advice, no nothing from them. Absolutely worthless!!

very disappointed in service. I had already processed the steps after my application was received by passport agency. This company only helps get application papers together. Once mailed they can look up status but most people can figure that out themselves. Waste of money and my time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid $129 for expedited service that didn't do a damn thing for me when I got to the post office. This company sent me cutoff forms and just pocketed my money which I had my bank mark as fraudulent bc it definitely was a scam. I would not recommend using this company....they don't do shit that they claim to and just rob people

Photo of A R.

if I could leave this business negative stars I would. been trying to reach them for over a month now about fixing a small error on my application and no response. I feel cheated out of my money.

this company will not respond to inquiries. The person answering the phone has not been able to speak english clearly and appears to be using the language as a reason for not responding. terrible customer service.

I cannot recommend this service highly enough! They could not help me formally because I needed a super-rushed visa to China and had to handle it personally, but Melissa helped immensely with advice. I would not have gotten my visa on time without her help (lots of unwritten rules I would have missed). She is knowledgeable, experienced, and was so patient and supportive. I will recommend this service to everyone I know and will use it myself in the future. Thank you, Melissa!

I needed a visa to travel to the UK. I had just 5 days left. I contacted a number of visa processing services in the area such as VisaHQ. They quoted that it will take at least 5-7 business days to get the Visa even with an expedited service fee. I knew this was not true since other people have gotten visas much sooner with expedited service. It wouldn't make sense for an embassy to not provide that option for people who need to travel urgently. Luckily I remembered that there was a visa processing service right where I lived. I dropped in and the staff at Travel Document Express was extremely professional and helpful. They assured me that I could get my Visa processed in 3 business days. I took a chance with them and they were true to their word. If I had gone ahead with VisaHQ I would have had to cancel my flights and hotel and would miss an important business meeting. Bottom line: do some research and ask around when looking for a visa processing service. I highly recommend Travel Document Express. Ask for Annette Enriquez who was very helpful and responsive throughout the process.

Don't use them. I've used other visa outsourcing groups in the past (including Travisa, which I had no issues with on a similarly tight timeline). It seems TDE wants to charge you as much as possible for each service, they are not forthcoming about the final prices, and they are not above inventing reasons to delay processing, running up your bill. Their communication occurs AFTER they've done something that will run up your bill, and always is related to some new charge you will paying. Summary of my story: I paid nearly $500 for expedited passport pages, visa, and shipping, all done over 3wks time. I still do not have my passport back. Read below for all the gory details: I needed: (1) more passport pages and (2) a Sri Lankan visa. I sent off my passport with all of the necessary documents and authorization to expedite the passport pages, figuring the 2 wks that remained would be enough to get the Sri Lanka visa done at regular pace. About a week and a half in I get a call saying that the visa would need to be expedited. More money. Not fun, but I need that stamp... so fine. Turns out they had already expedited it and the visa is ready to be sent. Um... ok, so mail it back to me... simple right? Nope. They tried to convince me to have them mail it overnight ($$$) with a tracking number (I had included a pre-paid priority mailing envelope that cost me 1/5th what they were charging). After several minutes of "no" they final got the message and agree to put it in the envelope and drop it in the mail. I go to the mailbox today (Monday) and find...nothing. Then the phone rings: "there was something wrong with your stamp," so they had delayed sending me the passport. What was wrong with it? What was wrong with it that it left the Sri Lankan Embassy just fine, but your people thought it should go back and be corrected before mailing it to me? No answer. She wants to mail me my passport overnight rather than send it by the 2-3 day, pre-paid priority envelope I had included. I don't leave until Saturday night... it's a 6 hour drive to DC. I think it should be fine I tell her, but she continues to fight me on this. Eventually I relented and let her charge me more... at this point I just want my passport and don't want to give them any excuses to "lose" it or delay its return.

This company's goal is not to serve you. Rather their goal to to charge you the most money possible for the least amount of work. They would absolutely prefer to have your credit card number because they want to make it easier to charge you more. We applied for a visa for our minor son who would be traveling with a school group. We had already renewed his passport and that is what we sent along with his application. They did not make it clear that the parents needed to sign the visa application. (The form said, "applicant's signature as in passport.") So after several days had went by we were told we needed to have a notarized letter giving permission for our son to travel outside the country without us and that we needed to both sign his visa application. Fine, we did as told. We heard nothing for two weeks(!) after we had sent the new forms to them. When we asked for the status we were told they had everything and that the visa would be mailed at the end of the week. Instead of the visa, we received another email from a different agent saying that we had never sent sent the second page of the visa application with our signatures. I insisted that they look again as I knew it had been sent. I heard nothing so I called and asked to speak to the original agent, the one that said they had everything. She told me that the problem was that my husband's signature was different on the notarized letter from that of the form. Well, if that was the case I would have appreciated to know that sooner and to NOT hear that they had everything. So now is a month later from our application and we have neither his passport or the visa. The only thing I am grateful for is that I never gave them a credit card. I figured since I had 6 weeks to process the application I didn't need to expedite it and a check would do. Like the other reviewer, it certainly seems that they are looking for an excuse to run up your bill. As far as I am concerned they are not experts and they are less than forthcoming.

I recently used Travel Document Express when I needed visas to Mozambique and Algeria. I chose them because 1) they were recommended by the tour company and 2) I was not particularly happy with several other services I had used in the past. I had no problems whatsoever with TDE. I spoke to a number of agents there and all were pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. They did warn me that the New York consulate for Algeria was notoriously slow and I might have a problem getting my visa on time, but no, everything was done very quickly and efficiently and at a reasonable price. Annette, Vanessa and Joe were all great. I will definitely use them again.

Travel Documents

ALERT: We have published an updated Form I-131A, edition date 11/02/22.

We have published an updated Form I-131A, edition date 11/02/22. This updated form allows you to apply for a travel document (carrier documentation) to board an airline or other transportation carrier without the carrier being penalized, if you are a foreign national:

  • Who is not a lawful permanent resident or conditional lawful permanent resident; and
  • Who received a Form I-512/Form I-512L, Advance Parole Document, or an Employment Authorization Document, with travel endorsement; and
  • Whose document was lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged while you were temporarily traveling outside the United States.

Depending on your immigration status (including lawful permanent resident status) or if you have a pending application for an immigration benefit, you may need to carry different types of travel documents if you wish to return to the United States lawfully after traveling outside the United States. In certain cases, you should apply for these documents before you leave the United States.

USCIS issues 5 types of travel documents:

  • Advance parole document;
  • Refugee travel document;
  • Re-entry permit;
  • TPS travel authorization; and
  • Carrier documentation.

If you have an emergency and need to travel outside the United States, read our Emergency Travel page for additional information.

If you have been in the United States illegally , then you may be subject to a bar to admission if you depart the United States, even if you have been issued a travel document. For more information, please see Section 212(a)(9) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) .

Advance parole allows you to travel back to the United States without applying for a visa. A transportation company (airlines) can accept an advance parole document instead of a visa as proof that you are authorized to travel to the United States. An advance parole document does not replace your passport.

Please note that having an advance parole document does not guarantee that you will be allowed to reenter the United States. At the airport or border, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer will make the final decision about whether to allow you to reenter the United States.

Advance parole is most commonly used when someone has a pending:

  • Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status : If you depart the U.S. while your Form I-485 is pending without first obtaining advance parole, USCIS will deny your case unless you fit into a narrow exception for people with certain nonimmigrant statuses.
  • Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal : If you are an asylum applicant and you intend to travel outside the United States and return, you must apply for and receive advance parole. If you leave the United States without first obtaining advance parole, we will assume that you have abandoned your asylum application.

For information on how to apply for advance parole, go to our Form I-131, Application for Travel Document page.

USCIS issues refugee travel documents to people with refugee or asylum status and to lawful permanent residents who obtained their Green Cards based on their refugee or asylee status.

You must have a refugee travel document to return to the United States if you:

  • Have refugee or asylee status but are not a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder); or
  • Are a derivative asylee or refugee.

If you do not obtain a refugee travel document before you leave the U.S., you may be unable to re-enter the United States or you may be placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge.

For information on how to apply for a refugee travel document, go to our Form I-131, Application for Travel Document page.

Permanent or conditional residents should apply for a re-entry permit if they will be outside the United States for one year or more. While it is valid, a re-entry permit allows you to apply for admission to the U.S. without having to obtain a returning resident visa from a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Go to our Form I-131, Application for Travel Document page for information on how to apply.

Travel authorization for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries allows you to travel back to the United States and, if you are eligible, be inspected and admitted into TPS. A transportation company (such as an airline) can accept a TPS travel authorization document instead of a visa as proof that you are authorized to travel to the United States. A TPS travel authorization document does not replace your passport.

Please note that having a TPS travel authorization document does not guarantee that you will be allowed to reenter the United States. At the airport or border, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer will make the final decision about whether to allow you to reenter the United States.

If we are still adjudicating your application for TPS and you wish to travel outside the United States, you may request advance parole.

For information on how to apply for TPS travel authorization, go to our Form I-131, Application for Travel Document , page.

Carrier documentation allows an airline or other transportation carrier to board permanent residents who have temporarily been outside the United States and whose Green Card or re-entry permit has been lost, stolen or destroyed. If you are a permanent resident in this situation, you may need to file a Form I-131A. Go to the Form I-131A, Application for Travel Document (Carrier Documentation) for more information.

Use with caution

Use with caution. Fake Indian visa companies are being used as a front for identity theft. This is a convincing site - but the jury is out. However, there are a hundred and forty five fake visa sites listed on the Indian Embassy Brussels. It is impossible to get through to Indian embassy to check if a visa application has been received. The best bet is go to your own embassy website and check for the url that they recommend.

I’ve used TDS for many years

I’ve used TDS for many years. Never a problem with TDS, but I wish they gave me a return option other than FedEx. FedEx has messed me up several times. Once when FedEx messed up, it wasn’t serious, but twice the consequences were problematic. UPS has never been a problem, nor USPS.

Astonishingly efficient service

We worked with Monte Ramirez in San Francisco for our passport renewal. Since we had excellent experience with Travel Document Systems in the past in handling many visas--some of them quite difficult-- we were confident that they would do a fine job. Mr. Ramirez exceeded all our expectations. After all our documents had been received he got our new passports in our hands in 10 days. We were astonished, since estimated times for passport renewals were 4 to 5 weeks even with expedited service! Mr. Ramirez found a canceled appointment in San Francisco and shoehorned our order into that slot. We were grateful for the peace of mind he gave us in advance of foreign travel. We will continue to be loyal clients for this excellent service in the future.

VISA DIFFICULTIES and MULTIPLE CARD CHARGES

1. Difficulties adjusting to the new TDS Pinnacle web site application format. GHANA was a nightmare -- was "kicked out" of this visa application 3 times -- very stressful; 2. Have 5 OCT credit card charges for 3 visas (Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast), 1 of the 5 charges is a duplicate for $311.40. These charges must be addressed and corrected. Waiting for NOV card bill to determine if I have more charges before contacting TDS for charge corrections. 3. I realize international travel visa requirements are a "moving target" because of the virus.

Worth its weight in gold

I have been using TDS for visas and passport renewals for years. Every time, they are prompt, communicative, responsive, and flexible. (E.g. I didn't realize that the visa I was requesting was only processed in NY, and had already completed all the paperwork and payment for the DC office. No problem. Solved via email instantaneously.) I absolutely LOVE that there is a person who is in charge of my passport and who I can contact for updates - but who most often contacts ME before I think to ask! All it took was one time using snail mail to be reminded why TDS is worth the price.

Trusted Partner

have relied on TDS for over 20 years and love that I can talk to a person I know. Have tried one other document company when agency forced our hand but pulled the process back in house when services took too long and no one team handled the call. I highly recommend TDS services and have used ALL their offices, love working with John, Tofigh and Face, some of the best in the business!

We had major problems getting our visa…

We had major problems getting our visa for Nigeria. This isn't the fault of TDS, but the communication has been very poor. We put in the initial documents in June and have not yet received the visa because of 'visa stamp shortages' (the ongoing story by the Nigerian embassy. We finally pulled our application for a multiple entry visa and are going to attempt to obtain single entry visas for each trip. Again, the main issue with TDS is the lack of communication. We rarely got any update or status report unless we called TDS.

My Travel Document Systems…

My Travel Document Systems representative was John Dinn. He phoned me the day after my overnight delivery to let me know my documents were successfully received. One MAJOR complaint: he incessantly interrupted me and/or talked over me. I literally pleaded with him at one point, "Sir, please, may I speak? May I speak?" but no, he continued to steamroll right over me. I urge Mr. Dinn to talk WITH his customers more and speak AT them less. I knocked off one star for this alone. I feel obliged to add that Mr. Dinn's tone of voice and the content of what he was trying to convey to me was entirely appropriate and he was sharing essential information with me. Otherwise, no complaints with TDS--they are fine and reputable.

I paid for the white glove service

I paid for the white glove service. Yes, it was more expensive but it was worth it. Mr Ghoraishi assisted me throughout the process. He reviewed my application, found a few errors, assisted me in getting them corrected. I was traveling when my Visa was ready. Mr Ghoraishi held it until I returned and then Fed exed the next morning to ensure I would be available when it arrived. While my timeline was not emergent but it was tight. I was kept informed throughout the entire process which greatly decreased my stress. I will definitely use this service again.

Date of experience : March 07, 2020

Easy and always timely

Easy and always timely. Travel Document Systems replaced all other Visa services for me and for my clients, as their application process for every Visa is clear and easy. And they are always delivered on time or ahead of schedule. I won't use anyone else but TDS!

Most the time, excellent service

My past visa order went smoothly. The prior request for a visa to Nigeria did not go well. I had to call TDS 6 days before my trip and was informed that no visa stickers were available. I informed TDS to send my passport back to me immediately. TDS did NOT inform me and I came close to canceling my itinerary. Thankfully I live in Mexico City and was able to get a quick visa at the Nigerian embassy via a friend who works there! I have found TDS very unprofessional on the phone when someone actually answers the call. I am not a "new customer".

Spoke with Actual Human Representative

Renewing your passport is complicated. Travel Document Systems made it a breeze. I spoke with an actual human representative on the phone who walked me through exactly what documents I needed to renew my passport and how to fill them out. And I received my passport, as promised, 2 weeks later. Thank you Travel Document Systems!

The consulate had problems with getting stickers for my visas. I believe in good faith Traveldoc did everything in their power to honor me getting my visa as soon as possible. I told Traveldoc I wanted my passport back, and a refund. They immediately shipped me back my documents and gave a full refund minus shipping cost for the return of my passport and documents.

Dealing with incompetent staff!

The main problem was at the start of my contact with your staff on phone, when i was asking about the Requirements. I even asked about the need for notarizing the Application form, based on MY last year’s Experience. i was told no need. So i had to repeat the entire application process, and a second shipment of forms to NYC. Make sure staff really know the requirements, or find out before giving false directions. It took one week longer, & a second FEDEX shipment, apart from filling the whole application a second time. Dealing with Frances later in the process was easier and more reassuring.

Quick turnaround- excellent service

I needed a Chinese tourist visa very quickly and over the Thanksgiving holiday. I dropped off my passport at the Washington DC office on Monday of Thanksgiving week and had it back by Friday morning after Thanksgiving. I couldn’t be happier with the service TDS provided.

TDS provided poor service in the time of Covid

First, I should note that we have had very good experience from this company on at least three previous occasions. However, this time was different. The paperwork for our applications for visas to Ghana with expedited service through TDS was received by the NYC office on Oct 13, 2021. We actually paid for the service several days earlier. After much confusion and phone calls from the consulate (none from TDS, only slow emails), our passports with visas were returned on November 2, 2021. This was an upsetting and nerve-wracking experience since our departure day was Nov 6. We also believe that we are owed money from TDS

I’ve used Traveldocs several times and always loved their performance. This last time, they were slow to answer emails and texts and I was a bit disappointed. I figured it was all Covid related, and hope that is the case as I will need their services again in the near future. I trust that the excellence I’ve experienced in the past will be there again.

Facial Recognition: Coming Soon to an Airport Near You

Biometric technology is expanding at airports across the United States — and the world — and transforming the way we move through them, from checking a bag to boarding the plane.

An illustration shows a man looking straight into a large window at an airport, identified by a control tower and the tail of a jet, with various charts and electronic measurements projected around him.

By Christine Chung

For this story, I spoke with executives at airlines, government agencies, and companies specializing in biometric technology. I also visited Alaska Airlines’ headquarters in Seattle, and tested out Delta’s Digital ID at John F. Kennedy and La Guardia airports in New York.

On a recent Thursday morning in Queens, travelers streamed through the exterior doors of La Guardia Airport’s Terminal C. Some were bleary-eyed — most hefted briefcases — as they checked bags and made their way to the security screening lines.

It was business as usual, until some approached a line that was almost empty. One by one, they walked to a kiosk with an iPad affixed to it and had their photos taken, as a security officer stood by. Within seconds, each passenger’s image was matched to a photo from a government database, and the traveler was ushered past security into the deeper maze of the airport. No physical ID or boarding pass required.

Some travelers, despite previously opting into the program, still proffered identification, only for the officer to wave it away.

This passenger screening using facial recognition software and made available to select travelers at La Guardia by Delta Air Lines and the Transportation Security Administration, is just one example of how biometric technology, which uses an individual’s unique physical identifiers, like their face or their fingerprints, promises to transform the way we fly.

This year could be the “tipping point” for widespread biometrics use in air travel, said Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst for Atmosphere Research . Time-consuming airport rituals like security screening, leaving your luggage at bag drop and even boarding a plane may soon only require your face, “helping to reduce waiting times and stress for travelers,” Mr. Harteveldt said.

In the United States, major airlines have increasingly invested in facial recognition technology as have government agencies in charge of aviation security. Overseas, a growing number of international airports are installing biometrics-enabled electronic gates and self-service kiosks at immigration and customs.

The technology’s adoption could mean enhanced security and faster processing for passengers, experts say. But it also raises concerns over privacy and ethics.

Dr. Morgan Klaus Scheuerman, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado who studies the ethics of artificial intelligence and digital identity, said many questions have emerged about the use of biometrics at airports: How are the systems being trained and evaluated? Would opting out be considered a red flag? What if your documents don’t match your current appearance?

“I’m sure many people feel powerless to stop the trajectory,” Dr. Scheuerman said.

In the United States, bullish about the technology

The T.S.A., with more than 50,000 officers at nearly 430 airports in the United States, is the main federal agency ensuring the safety of the hundreds of millions of passengers who fly each year. Travelers who are determined to be “low-risk” can apply for T.S.A.’s PreCheck program, which offers expedited security screening at more than 200 domestic airports. PreCheck, which requires an in-person appointment to show documents and give fingerprints, and biometric verification by Clear, a private screening company, have helped to reduce the wait time for screening, but air travelers still must occasionally stand in long queues to get to their gates.

The T.S.A. has experimented with facial recognition technology since 2019. Screening verification currently offered at Denver and Los Angeles International Airports and some 30 other airports starts when a photo is taken of the traveler. Then facial recognition software is used to match the image to a physical scan of a license or passport. The photo is deleted shortly afterward, according to the agency. This process, which passengers can opt out of, will be available at some 400 more airports in the coming years, the agency said.

Melissa Conley, a T.S.A. executive director overseeing checkpoint technologies, said that biometric technology is better than human agents at matching faces rapidly and accurately.

“People are not good at matching faces. It’s just known,” Ms. Conley said. “Machines don’t get tired.”

The process still requires passengers to show their IDs. But the program being tried by Delta, called Delta Digital ID , changes that.

With Delta Digital ID , PreCheck travelers can use their faces in lieu of boarding passes and ID at both bag drop and security at La Guardia and four other airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport .

Facial recognition shaves more than a minute off bag drop, to roughly 30 seconds, and reduces the security interaction from 25 seconds to about 10 seconds, said Greg Forbes, Delta’s managing director of airport experience. While a “simple change,” the time savings add up, making the line noticeably faster, Mr. Forbes added.

“Anywhere that there’s PreCheck, I think, could benefit from Digital ID,” Mr. Forbes said.

Other airlines have begun similar experiments for PreCheck travelers: Those flying on American Airlines can use their faces to get through PreCheck screening at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and also to enter the airline’s lounge at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. United Airlines allows PreCheck travelers to use their faces at bag drop counters at Chicago O’Hare International Airport; the airline is scheduled to bring this program to Los Angeles International Airport in March.

And Alaska Airlines plans to spend $2.5 billion over the next three years in upgrades, including new bag drop machines, in Seattle, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, Los Angeles and Anchorage. A machine will scan the traveler’s ID, match it to a photo, and then scan the printed bag tags. The new system, designed to move guests through the bag tagging and dropping process in less than five minutes (compared to around eight minutes now), will be in Portland in May.

Charu Jain, the airline’s senior vice president of innovation and merchandising, said that it felt like the right moment for Alaska because of improved technology and increasing passenger familiarity with facial recognition.

At the borders

The fastest growing use of facial recognition software at U.S. airports so far has been in security measures for entering and exiting the United States.

The growth stems from a 2001 congressional mandate , in the wake of 9/11, requiring the implementation of a system that would allow all travelers arriving and departing the United States to be identified using biometric technology.

Overseen by the Customs and Border Protection agency, the biometric system for those entering the United States is in place, and scanned 113 million entries at airports last year. For those leaving the country, the system is available at 49 airports, with the C.B.P. aiming to cover all airports with international departures by 2026.

Biometric entry is mandatory for foreign nationals. But biometric exit is currently optional for these travelers, while C.B.P. is making the system fully operational. At any border, the biometric process is optional for U.S. citizens, who can instead request a manual ID check.

Diane Sabatino, acting executive assistant commissioner for field operations at C.B.P., said that the system aims to improve security, but she acknowledged rising privacy concerns. Images of American citizens taken during the process are deleted within 12 hours, she said, but photos of foreign nationals are stored for up to 75 years .

“We are not scanning the crowd looking for people,” she said. “It’s certainly a privacy issue. We are never going to ask them to sacrifice privacy for convenience.”

Miami International Airport, the second busiest airport in the United States for international passengers last year, has one of the “largest deployments” of biometrics in the country, airport executives say. In a partnership with SITA , a global information technology provider for the air transport industry, the airport has installed the technology for departing passengers at 74 out of 134 gates and plans to cover the remaining gates by the end of this year, said Maurice Jenkins, chief innovation officer at Miami-Dade Aviation Department.

The contract with SITA costs $9 million, but Mr. Jenkins said that the new technology was increasing efficiency in the rest of the airport’s operations, such as fewer gate agents checking documents.

Document-free travel overseas

Experts believe the future of air travel is one where facial recognition will be used throughout the entire airport journey: bag drop, boarding, even entering lounges and purchasing items at retail stores within the airport. It may be so streamlined that security checkpoints could be eliminated, replaced instead by security “tunnels” that passengers walk through and have their identity confirmed simultaneously.

“This is the future,” said Dr. Sheldon Jacobson, a computer science professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who researches aviation security.

According to a recent report by SITA , in which 292 airlines and 382 airports around the world were surveyed, 70 percent of global airlines are expected to use some sort of biometric identification by 2026 and 90 percent of airports are currently investing in the technology.

More comprehensive experimentation has already landed at some airports abroad. Later this year, Singapore’s Changi Airport intends to go passport-free for departures ; all passengers, regardless of nationality, will be able use this system. At Frankfurt Airport in Germany, passengers can now use their face s from the time they check-in to boarding. The airport is installing biometric technology throughout its two terminals and making it available to all airlines.

In China, 74 airports — 86 percent of the country’s international airports — have biometric technology in place, according to a report released last month by the global market research company Euromonitor and the U.S. Travel Association . At Beijing Capital International Airport , the country’s busiest airport, travelers can use facial recognition throughout their entire journey, even to pay for items at duty-free shops.

But in the United States, according to the report, only about 36 percent of international airports have some biometric capabilities.

There are several reasons for the country’s lagging adoption, said Kevin McAleenan, the former acting secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and currently chief executive of Pangiam, a travel technology company. Simply, the United States has many airports and the immigration exit process here is different from other places.

At many airports overseas, the government controls immigration for departing travelers, allowing these airports to have a government-established biometric system.

In the United States, airlines, using C.B.P. passenger data , confirm the identities of travelers leaving the country.

Concerns over government surveillance

Biometrics use has already seeped into daily life. People unlock their phones with their faces. Shoppers can pay for groceries with their palms at Whole Foods .

But critics believe that the technology’s convenience fails to outweigh a high potential for abuse — from unfettered surveillance to unintended effects like perpetuating racial and gender discrimination.

Cody Venzke, senior policy counsel on privacy and technology at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the government had not yet shown a demonstrated need for facial recognition technology at airports and worried about a “nuclear scenario.”

“Facial recognition technology,” he said, could be “the foundation for a really robust and widespread government surveillance and tracking network.”

“That technology might be able to be used to track you automatically and surreptitiously, from place to place, as you go about your day, and create a really detailed mosaic about everything about your life,” Mr. Venzke said.

The A.C.L.U. supports a congressional bill, introduced last November, called the Traveler Privacy Protection Act . Listing concerns over security and racial discrimination , the bill would halt the T.S.A.’s ongoing facial recognition program, and require congressional authorization for the agency to resume it.

Ms. Conley, of the T.S.A., said that a stop in the agency’s biometrics efforts would “take us back years.”

For some travelers, facial recognition has already become a reliable tool. At J.F.K. on a recent afternoon, Brad Mossholder, 45, used Delta’s Digital ID line to breeze through the security screening at Terminal 4 and bypass a dozen travelers in the adjacent PreCheck lane.

He was flying from his home in New York to San Diego for his job in corporate retail, and as a frequent business traveler, has used facial recognition several times. The process is faster and easier overall, Mr. Mossholder said, and he wasn’t worried about privacy.

“Honestly, my photo is on LinkedIn, it’s on a million social media sites,” he said. “If you really wanted to see a picture of me, you could.”

The American Express Travel portal offers valuable benefits to American Express cardholders, including special prices. Depending on which card you hold, you may also be able to pay for travel with Membership Rewards® points and get access to perks such as discounted airfare and specialty benefits at luxury hotels. Let’s take a look at how the Amex Travel portal works, whether the benefits are worthwhile and who can access Amex Travel’s website. 

  • American Express Travel offers hotels, vacation rentals, flights, rental cars and cruises.
  • Luxury hotel benefits and discounted airfare are two benefits of booking through Amex’s travel portal. 
  • American Express cardholders can access Amex Travel. 

How to book travel through the Amex Travel portal

Booking travel through the Amex Travel portal requires you to have an online account associated with an Amex card. While you can complete a search on the Amex Travel website without logging in, you will need to do so in order to make a booking.

travel doc express

After you choose whether to book a flight, hotel, vacation rental, vacation package, rental car or cruise, you’ll need to enter your travel details.

For example, if you want to book a flight through Amex Travel, you’ll need to put in your departure airport and destination as well as your dates of travel. The site will then bring up a list of matching results.

travel doc express

You can filter based on when the flights take off as well as how many stops you’re willing to tolerate, among other options. 

The Amex Travel site offers a wide variety of hotel stays and flights, but you’ll always want to double check elsewhere before booking since it doesn’t always feature every option. 

Once you’ve selected a booking, you’ll be taken through the checkout process. This includes providing your personal information and can also include seat requests and adding in loyalty program numbers.

To pay for your booking, you can use your American Express Membership Rewards, if you have a card that earns them, or your American Express card or a combination of both. 

After you’ve booked, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing your reservation information. You can also find your bookings under the My Trips section of Amex Travel.

Is the portal worth using?

The Amex Travel portal can be worth using in certain cases, though it won’t always make sense. For example, some flights aren’t bookable via Amex Travel, so if what you need isn’t available you’ll want to look elsewhere.

That being said, those with certain cards are entitled to exclusive benefits that can lower prices or allow them to redeem points for travel. There are also perks for booking luxury hotels within the portal. In these cases, Amex Travel is definitely worth investigating. 

How to maximize your Amex Travel benefits through the portal

International airline program.

Available to those who hold a high-end American Express card, including The Platinum Card from American Express, The Business Platinum Card from American Express and the American Express Centurion Black Card * The information for the American Express Centurion Black Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer. , the International Airline Program (IAP) can save you money on certain international flights booked via the Amex Travel portal.

This benefit is only available on tickets booked in premium economy, business or first class, but the savings can be significant. 

For example, we looked at a round-trip flight in premium economy from San Francisco (SFO) to Tokyo (NRT). Booking with Japan Airlines (JAL) directly resulted in a cost of $4,431.40, while the Amex Travel portal and the IAP charged just $3,797.40 for a savings of over $600.

travel doc express

Fine Hotels + Resorts ® and The Hotel Collection

American Express also offers the Fine Hotels and Resorts and The Hotel Collection to eligible cardholders. 

Fine Hotels and Resorts allows guests to book luxury hotels with special benefits. These include room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, an experience credit, late check-out, early check-in and more. 

The Hotel Collection offers similar but less exorbitant benefits. It’s directed toward more midscale properties and includes an experience credit as well as a room upgrade. 

35% rebate on redeemed points

Those who hold The Business Platinum Card from American Express are able to get a 35% rebate on points redeemed for eligible flights booked through the Amex Travel portal (up to 1,000,000 points per calendar year). 

Eligible flights include all fare classes on an airline that you select each year. It also includes first and business class tickets on any airline. 

Quick guide to Amex Membership Rewards

American Express Membership Rewards are the points you earn with eligible Amex cards. These highly flexible and valuable points can be redeemed in a number of ways, though they tend to be most valuable when transferred to Amex airline partners.

Other ways of redeeming Amex points include:

  • Gift cards.
  • Travel booked via Amex Travel.
  • Online shopping. 
  • Statement credits. 

While these are nice options to have, you’ll generally get much less value from your Membership Rewards points by redeeming them in these ways. Finally, although you can redeem your points in the Amex Travel portal, this isn’t necessarily a good idea if you aim to reap maximum value. Even if you’re taking advantage of the 35% rebate on redeemed points for flights, you’ll only ever receive a value of 1.54 cents per point. This is lower than you’d expect when transferring your Amex points to many airline and hotel partners. 

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

No, travel insurance is not automatically included when booking through the Amex portal. But many of the best credit cards feature complimentary travel insurance when using your card to pay, including those from American Express. Otherwise, you may be able to opt in to travel insurance during the booking process or via a third party provider.

Those with the The Platinum Card from American Express can earn 5 Membership Rewards® points per $1 for flights booked directly with airlines or with American Express Travel on up to $500,000 per calendar year, 5 points per $1 on prepaid hotels booked with American Express Travel and 1 point per $1 on other purchases. The card has an annual fee of $695 ( rates & fees ). 

Those with the The Business Platinum Card® from American Express * The information for the The Business Platinum Card® from American Express has been collected independently by Blueprint.

The phone number for American Express Travel is: 1-800-297-2977.

The number of Amex points that you’ll need to redeem for a flight will depend on the cash cost of your flight and whether you’re booking through Amex Travel or transferring your Membership Rewards points to an Amex airline partner. Amex Points are worth about one cent when booking flights through the portal, so a flight that costs $500 in cash would require about 50,000 Amex points. You’ll typically get a better deal with transfer partners than booking through the portal.
