Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection

The Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) provides expedited U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processing of pre-approved travelers, considered low-risk. Voluntarily applicants must undergo a thorough background check against criminal, law enforcement, customs, immigration, and terrorist databases; a 10-fingerprint law enforcement check; and a personal interview with a CBP Officer.

Once the applicant is approved, they are issued a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card identifying their status in the CBP database when arriving at U.S. ports of entry (POE), land borders. An RFID decal is also issued for the applicant’s vehicle. SENTRI users have access to dedicated lanes into the United States.

The Global Online Enrollment System (GOES) allows registered users to enter their own SENTRI applications, and for approved members to edit their information.
