Makobob's SENTRI
 

I did it, just filled out all the forms on line for me and my truck. Now how long do I wait????? Time will tell. Tight Lines and Happy Holidays.

Did it cost you anything to fill out the forms and get the process started?

YES. I procrastinated for a year now, them had to hand over $25.00 so no gas money this week. Only took about 1/2 hour to do it. Guess I'll just have to go to Baja NEXT week. Happy Holidays.

It would definitely cut your wait time down!!!
Btw how is gonzaga during may and june...weather and fish wise?

I sent my application in a month ago and still waiting to hear back.

Good on you Bob. It only took like 30 years? I know it was not available then.
Now all of your riders have to have one too.



How about a Sentri trip or party??

So far I am aware of;

Mr. Pukashell,
Yakdout,
Makobob,
Defjack,
Mahigeer,
Sivak

Who else?

It is $25.00 for application, then $122.50 (if I remember right) for the card.

The card is good for 5 years.

Well worth it.

What documents do they require during the interview process?

This is what I plan to take:
Conditional approval letter
Passport
Citizenship documentation
Driver’s license
4Rrunner DMV papers
AAA insurance proof for 4Runner
Tax return papers
House tax papers
Check book
Application printout

Of course, the ones who have actually been should post.

Where do you go online to get them?

I went through this website https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/goes/jsp/login.jsp

Cost me $100.00 to fill out and file the paperwork. This included me in the "Trusted Traveler" program. I get Pre TSA check on flights, SENTRI and the card. I did take all of the requested paperwork but they did not ask for any of it. I would have it just in case. If you have sent in your paperwork go to the website and check the status. If they have accepted your paperwork you will get to schedule your appointment. Make sure you check all of the locations for appointment dates. Will let you know whey I get my card

Hashem, your list of stuff is a little long. This is what you need, add to the list registration and insurance for the vehicle you enrolled and that should do it. Got my card in the mail last week.

Thanks for the update.

As an old Boy Scout, I like to be more than prepared.

Here is what I found on the website for Sentri.

"The SENTRI pass interview is held at one of the enrollment centers. The object is to explain the rules of the SENTRI pass program to you and take your fingerprints and a photograph. You must take the original ID documents submitted with your application – these will all be verified against your application form. IVT will instruct you on what to take.
You will need to provide:
your US citizenship or legal immigration status
a valid driver’s license from the US state where you lives
your vehicle registration and documentation for legal US car insurance
a notarized letter authorizing your vehicles use if it is not owned by you e.g. if it is owned by your company you must produce a letter of authorization on your company’s letterhead
details of your employment or your financial support (e.g. your recent tax return, a salary slip or if you are self employed your business license, tax information and bank statements)
proof of your address e.g. a mortgage statement, ownership deeds or a rent receipt
You will be informed at your SENTRI interview whether or not you have been accepted into the SENTRI card program. Your fingerprints will be taken digitally – this is an ink free process. Your photograph will be taken for your SENTRI card and the border officials will explain the program and answer any of your questions. Your SENTRI card will be sent to you by mail around 10 days later."

That is why I plan to take my list.
"your US citizenship or
legal immigration status
a valid driver’s license from the US state where you lives
your vehicle registration and documentation for legal US car insurance
a notarized letter authorizing your vehicles use if it is not owned by you e.g. (e.g. your recent tax return,
proof of your address e.g. a mortgage statement, ownership deeds "

Get one - Once you have it you'll be glad you went through the hassle the very first time you cross the border with it - In 10 years since I've had it my average border wait crossing north has been 15 minutes, with more than one crossing taking less than 2 minutes, last trip up from Bob's place was 6 minutes...
