Check-in and check-in procedures
Passport travelers can check in up to 24 hours in advance via the United Mobile App (available or Apple and Android mobile devices), United.com, or an airport kiosk. For international travel, travelers can also scan their passport themselves using the United app or an airport kiosk.
You can upload your booking to the United app prior to check-in by selecting the "My United" button at the bottom of the screen, then selecting the "Travel" button and then entering the requested booking details. Make sure the "Add to my trips" selector is checked. This saves your retrieved ride in your app for later reference and to facilitate check-in.

United primarily uses a standby automation (SPA) process to release seats for passport travel. Seats are normally automatically vacated 30 minutes prior to departure for US domestic flights and 1 hour prior to departure for international flights. Some flights may be released earlier or later depending on the flight load and/or operational status of the flight. If your mobile phone number and/or email address is saved in your booking, you will receive an SMS or email as soon as your seat has been released. As long as you've loaded your booking into the United app, you'll be able to see your boarding pass(es) in the app and board when your group is called. If you wish to change your seat, you can also change your seat assignment through the United app as long as the flight agent has not restricted the flight to gate control. If you do not have the United app, did not save your mobile number and/or email address when booking, and/or did not save or check-in the booking through the United app, please watch the Gate TV monitors, to see when you were released with a seat and ask the agent for a paper boarding pass at that time.
