SENTRI - Global Entry

The Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.

To join the SENTRI program, travelers must apply through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In Nogales, SENTRI lanes for passenger vehicles expedite rapid crossings between the U.S. and Mexico at the DeConcini port of entry in downtown Nogales.

Ideal for regular crossers, those who participate in the SENTRI program experience a increased convenience and times savings. It wont just save you time at the border! With SENTRI you receive access to TSA Pre-Check lanes at airports within the US.

You can learn more and apply for SENTRI by going to Department of Homeland Security Website.
