Global Entry in Florida: Interview Centers and Live Waits

Global Entry in Florida: Interview Centers and Live Waits

Florida has more Global Entry enrollment centers than most states: two in Miami, plus Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Fort Pierce, Orlando and Tampa. Which one gets you the soonest interview changes from day to day, so this guide gives you the facts about each center and its live wait instead of a fixed ranking.

Earlier versions of this page said Miami had a wait of 15 months or more. That is not what TTPRadar's daily checks show: from late August to mid October 2026, Miami International had an interview within a week on every day we checked. Here is the current Florida picture.

Miami's interview wait right now

Miami Airport Enrollment Center: next interview today as of November 11, 2026. See the Miami page.

If that figure is short, Miami may be your best option even if you live farther north. If it is long, compare the other centers below. You can interview at any enrollment center, whatever your address.

Florida enrollment centers

Details below come from CBP's own listing for each center. Check your appointment confirmation for anything that may have changed.

Miami International Airport

• Where: Concourse J, 2nd level, across from the Lufthansa check-in counter, door 3.
• Parking: CBP points applicants to the Flamingo and Ibis garages.
• Bring: a valid passport, your permanent resident card or U.S. visa if you have one, and one document showing proof of residency.

PortMiami

• Where: Cruise Terminal D, 1435 North Cruise Blvd, Miami.
• Parking: CBP's notes say not to pay to park. On non-cruise days you park in front of Terminal D. On days a ship is at Terminal D, CBP asks you to register your vehicle and appointment first, using the link in its center notes.
• Good for: anyone in Miami who would rather avoid airport traffic.

PortMiami Enrollment Center: next interview today as of November 11, 2026. See the Miami page.

Fort Lauderdale

• Note: CBP says a passport is required for the interview and only the applicant is allowed in the interview area. Read the directions carefully, since this center is not in an airport terminal.

TTPRadar also lists a Sanford center, which shows as closed in our data. Check the official TTP site before planning around it.

Options just outside Florida

If you live in the western Panhandle or north Florida, a center in a neighboring state may be closer than anything in central Florida:

• Mobile, Alabama: Mobile Regional Airport, main terminal.
• Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi: Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, main terminal, 2nd floor. CBP says this center does not accept walk-ins.
• Atlanta, Georgia: Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, Concourse F. CBP warns that parking is limited after 12 PM.

Mobile Airport Enrollment Center: next interview 1 week away as of November 11, 2026. See the Mobile page.

Atlanta Airport Enrollment Center: next interview today as of November 11, 2026. See the Atlanta page.

How to pick a Florida center

• Start with the live numbers. Compare the centers above, or every center on the wait times board. Do not rely on an old ranking, including the one this page used to show.
• Count the whole trip. Several Florida centers are at seaports, not airports, so check the address and parking notes before you book.
• Book, then keep watching. If the earliest date is too far out, book it anyway and move to an earlier slot if one opens. Earlier slots appear when people cancel.
• Consider Enrollment on Arrival. If you are conditionally approved and flying home from abroad, you may be able to finish the interview when you land at a participating airport. See the Enrollment on Arrival guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Miami really a 15-month wait for Global Entry?

No. That claim is out of date. In TTPRadar's daily checks from late August to mid October 2026, Miami International showed an interview within a week every day. Waits can change, so check the live figure at the top of this page.

Do I have to use the center closest to my home?

No. You can interview at any Global Entry enrollment center. Many South Florida applicants compare Miami, PortMiami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach and book whichever has the date that suits them.

Is the West Palm Beach center at the airport?

No. CBP lists it at the Port of Palm Beach cruise terminal in Riviera Beach, not at Palm Beach International Airport.

Can I use Enrollment on Arrival in Florida?

Enrollment on Arrival is available at participating U.S. airports for conditionally approved applicants returning from international travel. Check CBP's current list of participating airports before you rely on it.

How do I find out when an earlier Florida slot opens?

Check the TTP scheduler yourself, or use free browser alerts for one center while the page is open. Text alerts watch up to 3 centers, for example Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, for 30 days.
