U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Philadelphia International Airport have announced the launch of Enhanced Passenger Processing technology at Philadelphia International Airport. Enhanced Passenger Processing utilizes advanced facial comparison technology and biometric software to provide U.S. citizens with a touchless, seamless, and secure international arrivals experience. The technology allows CBP officers to focus on traveler interaction and higher-risk travelers while automating routine processing for eligible U.S. citizens with no enforcement concerns. Since launching EPP nationally in August 2025, CBP officials have observed a 25% reduction in wait times for U.S. citizens. Any passenger wishing to not participate in the EPP process will need to notify an officer and they will then go through the standard international arrivals process.
