Global Entry and documents with name mismatch?

score:4

Accepted answer

A name mismatch could delay your Global Entry application, or cause it to be denied. Even if your application is granted, and a Global Entry card issued to you, the name mismatch could conceivably generate difficulties for you in the future, especially at any US immigration point including preclearance locations overseas.

It will be far easier for you to travel if all your official government documents show the same name.

Prudence suggests that you delay applying for Global Entry until the documents you already possess present a consistent statement of your name. That is, apply to USCIS to issue a replacement Green Card showing the same name as appears on your foreign passport and state ID. After a new Green Card has been issued to you showing the consistent same name, then apply for Global Entry.
