So I must wait until I have my green card before applying for Global Entry?

Yes, you must wait.

You can add documents after the fact, including a new PR (green card) and new passports. The profile is related to you so it gets update as these things change. I had GE with a conditional GC, permanent GC, and now US passport.

 

I would note that applications are taking months for conditional approval (I've been waiting 6 months), and interviews are currently suspended.

@Mollie09, we were told adding a US passport after getting GE on a green card has to be done in person not online, can you confirm this?

That is my understanding too. I just applied after I got my oath notification so that I could just show the US passport during interview. I didn't want to do 2 trips or stop by Global Entry after International Arrival. You can change your address online.

 

Adding another passport in Global Entry account might be different from just updating current passport info.

This is true, any passport change (name change, nationality, etc.) needs to be done in person. Good news is, if you're adding a passport, you can just show up at most GE centers without an appointment.

I've been waiting for 6 months for my renewal interview, which is a triple whammy of changes (name change, US passport, GE renewal) so I only go once.

 

ETA: Some passport changes can be done online, but changes in citizenship, permanent residence, etc. need to be done in person.

Yup, I was planning to just do it on my next re-entry. Which was supposed to be in a few weeks but that trip got cancelled ...
