If you do not travel multiple times per year internationally, we recommend
applying for the TSA PreCheck Program. Most TSA PreCheck applicants can schedule
an appointment in less than 2 weeks and, if approved, can receive a Known
Traveler Number (KTN) in about 3 to 5 days after the appointment.

Global Entry, SENTRI, NEXUS, and FAST are experiencing application processing
delays and have limited interview availability. While many applications are
quickly reviewed, in some cases the process can take from 6-18 months to
complete. Moreover, interview availability in various regions is limited. We
encourage applicants to check interview appointment availability at a preferred
Enrollment Center before applying. Find an Enrollment Center: Global Entry,
SENTRI, NEXUS

Current Global Entry applicants or first time Global Entry applicants whose
applications have already been conditionally approved may also participate in
our Enrollment on Arrival (EoA) program. No appointment is needed and this
option may offer the fastest path to membership approval for individuals with
upcoming international travel. Information can be found on the following

The Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, TSA PreCheck®, SENTRI, NEXUS, and
FAST) are risk-based programs to facilitate the entry of pre-approved travelers.
All applicants are vetted to ensure that they meet the qualifications for the
program to which they are applying. Receiving a "Best Match" or program
recommendation based on eligibility or travel habits does not guarantee
acceptance into any Trusted Traveler program.

We are currently receiving a high volume of applications.



Processing times vary by applicant, but on average you can expect your
application to be processed as follows:



 * Global Entry: 4-6 months
 * NEXUS: 12-14 months
 * SENTRI: 10-12 months
 * FAST: 1-2 weeks



These are average times. Unfortunately, we cannot anticipate a date of
completion for your specific application at this time.

All applicants should check the Trusted Traveler Program website
(https://ttp.dhs.gov/) periodically for updates or status of their application.

Additionally, if you submit a renewal application before your membership
expires, you will be able to continue to use benefits after your membership
expiration date. Please log into your TTP dashboard to submit a renewal
application. We recommend that you print out a copy of your pending renewal to
show the Customs and Border Protection Officer, if requested.
