SENTRI Interview Checklist: Documents and Vehicle Questions

SENTRI supports pre-approved travelers entering the United States through designated southwest border lanes.

Before the interview

Check your status in the official TTP account and review the CBP SENTRI FAQ.

Documents to review

• Passport or accepted citizenship document.
• Permanent resident card, if applicable.
• Current proof of address.
• Relevant immigration, work authorization or name-change documents.
• Vehicle information if you intend to use vehicle lanes.

Vehicle registration

CBP’s handbook says vehicles used in a SENTRI lane must be registered in the program. Membership alone does not automatically cover a replacement, borrowed or new vehicle.

Where alerts fit
