Finding the office at SeaTac
The enrollment center is not in the ticketing hall. CBP places it on street level at the very south end of the airport, near the International Arrivals baggage claim area and the transit bus stops.
From there, keep walking south on the paved sidewalk. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection office is on your right; go through the double doors into the Global Entry Enrollment Center.
If you would rather not park, Link light rail and regional buses serve the airport.
What to bring to a SeaTac interview
CBP's notes for this center are specific about documents. Check them before you leave home:
- All of your unexpired passport books. If you hold more than one citizenship, bring every valid passport.
- A U.S. passport card is not accepted in place of the passport book.
- Your U.S. permanent resident card or U.S. visa, if you have one.
- Visa holders: all relevant immigration documents, including your most recent I-94 number.
