The Calexico Enrollment Center is at the port of entry on East Carr Road in Calexico, California, across the border from Mexicali. CBP interviews SENTRI and Global Entry applicants here. This page covers SENTRI interview appointments at the center, not the SENTRI lane wait at the crossing. It shows the live wait for the next interview date, how availability has changed recently, and lets you set an alert for an earlier slot.

Getting there without ending up in Mexico

From San Diego, take I-8 east to CA-7 south toward the port of entry. From Yuma, take I-8 west to CA-7 south. Exit on Carr Rd (International Border/Cars), turn right at the top of the bridge, then turn left before the last U.S. exit and continue to the security booth.
CBP also states, in capitals, that late arrivals will not be accepted. Leave margin for the drive.
What to bring for SENTRI at Calexico
Calexico publishes one of the longer document lists. Bring originals where originals are required, since CBP says copies will not be accepted and missing documents can lead to a denial or a rescheduled appointment.

Getting an earlier interview
You can interview at any enrollment center that offers SENTRI. Otay Mesa and San Luis are the closest others and are shown below with their live waits. Watch all three, since openings come and go at different times.
Hold on to the appointment you already have. If an earlier date shows up, use the reschedule option in your TTP account to move into it, rather than cancelling and hoping the new slot is still there.

CBP's directions say mapping apps may get you lost or take you into Mexico. Follow CBP's route: CA-7 south, exit Carr Rd, right at the top of the bridge, left before the last U.S. exit, then the security booth.
What happens if I am late to my Calexico SENTRI interview?

Is this the Calexico SENTRI lane wait?
No. Lane waits measure how long the line is to cross the border in a SENTRI lane. This page tracks something else: how soon you can get a SENTRI interview appointment at the Calexico Enrollment Center, the in-person step you complete before you can use those lanes.
How do I get an earlier SENTRI interview in Calexico?
By being there in the minutes after a slot is released, which is why checking by hand a few times a day rarely catches one. Watch more than one center if you can travel, and keep your TTP login to hand so you can confirm the moment you see a date.
Does TTPRadar book the interview for me?
No. We are independent of CBP and cannot book, hold or reserve an appointment. We tell you the moment an earlier Calexico interview appears, and you book it yourself on the official Trusted Traveler Programs website.

Yes. Free browser alerts watch one center while you keep the page open and play a sound when an interview that suits you appears. Text alerts cost $24.99 once for 30 days, cover up to three centers and reach you wherever you are. There is no subscription and no account to create.
