Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) is set to introduce Automated Passport Control (APC) self-service kiosks at its onsite US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility.
The new APC kiosks accelerate entry to the country through an automated process that eliminates the need to handwrite a customs declaration form.

The APC kiosks can be used by US citizens and Canadians, as well as travellers residing in Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries.
In order to use the kiosks, travellers are required to enter the same information as the customs declaration forms.
After scanning their passport and fingerprints, travellers need to confirm their flight number and take a photo.
