I've lost about 80 lbs since august and am at my goal. Im 63.

My last two times thru customs global entry i received the dreaded X and had to stand in the problem line. Ugh. It rejected my fingerprints. I had not traveled international since December when it did work. It coded BP both times, different airports, bad prints even though they registered green, good capture. The CBP officer recommended I get reprinted in one of their global entry office.

I've had global for 8 years now, never a problem. I didn't think prints change but I assure you my fingers are much slimmer and tips seem to have access skin like other parts of my body.

Curious if other travelers have experienced this?

I'll be getting reprinted next week.

Really, maybe the shape of the finger tips changed because they have gotten slimmer? Wow never heard of this.. interesting

WOW maybe that is what happened to me also. Our company requires us to get fingerprinted every 5 years. Five years ago I had no problem what so ever in getting the fingerprint to register. In Feb the lady had a terrible time trying to get my fingerprints. She tried numerous times and even had me use a lotion. The machine kept beeping and she had to get special permission to use what she could get from the ring and pinky fingers as they were the worse.

Yep just wait til you go to the DMV! [emoji1] I got flagged because I look nothing like my old pic. My finger prints didn't exactly match up either because my fingers had shrunk. I went from a size 11 ring down to a 6.5 so yeah, lots of change there! LOL It was a hard time getting that straightened out. Your whole body changes from the process. Fingerprints, face readers, pictures, etc I mean I have lost so much weight that for awhile I didn't even know who I was when I looked in the mirror and it scared me! I would freak out and think there was a ghost or a woman in the mirror staring at me. LOL

I often don't recognize myself in the mirror.
