Just a report on this.

I applied and got confirmation in about 2 weeks. I made an appointment for a week later at EWR. I showed up a half hour before my appointment and they took us right in. They asked us for a passport and licence. They did not ask for mail for proof of address. (I guess a licence is good enough) They then scanned my fingers and asked a few simple questions. The whole thing took 10 minutes.

But what happens when she gets a new passport with married name? Will the GE transfer?
Yes. Just go into any enrollment location (no need for an apt) only takes a few minutes.

appt is needed -- no locations take walk-ins for new GE. Maybe just a renewal.

you are lucky that you got an appt one week out. Some airports are booked 3-4 months out.

Does my Global Entry card count as ID?
According to the GE officer I met he said nope it's worthless. He calls it the worthless card.
