Border Town Global Entry Centers: Locations and Live Waits

Border Town Global Entry Centers: Locations and Live Waits

CBP runs Global Entry enrollment centers at many land-border crossings, from Calais, Maine to Brownsville, Texas. They are official centers with the same interview and the same rules as an airport center, and anyone who is conditionally approved can book one. This guide lists the border centers TTPRadar tracks, with practical notes from CBP and each center's live interview wait.

One correction to the usual advice: border centers are not automatically fast. In TTPRadar's daily checks from late August to mid October 2026, most northern border centers showed an interview within a week every day, while several southern border centers, including Del Rio, Brownsville, Eagle Pass, El Paso and Hidalgo, were usually weeks or months out or had no dates published. Check the live figure for the center you have in mind.

Planning a border center visit

• You do not need to cross the border. These centers are on the U.S. side. Follow CBP's directions closely so you do not end up in a lane into Canada or Mexico.
• Allow for vehicle lines. Traffic near a crossing can add time, and some centers treat late arrivals as no-shows.
• Bring originals. Several border centers say copies are not accepted.
• Weigh the trip. A long drive is only worth it if the border center's live wait is clearly better than centers closer to you. Compare on the wait times board first.
