Passport & Immigration Control Locations
GFK does not have international flights, so there are no passport and immigration control locations within the airport. However, passengers traveling internationally from nearby airports, such as Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, will go through passport and immigration control upon arrival in the United States.

At Grand Forks Airport, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operates security checkpoints for all departing passengers. These checkpoints include standard security measures such as metal detectors and X-ray scanners for carry-on luggage. Additionally, passengers who have enrolled in TSA PreCheck can enjoy expedited screening, which allows them to keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and keep their laptops and liquids in their bags.
