Booking a Global Entry Interview at Albuquerque Enrollment Center
Step 1 – Apply for Global Entry
Start by applying for the Global Entry program on the DHS Trusted Traveler Programs website. A $100 fee covers a 5-year membership, and you’ll need to complete questions about your background.
Tip: You may qualify to have the $100 fee waived if you pay with one of these travel credit cards. Start Your Global Entry Application.
Step 2 – Await Conditional Approval
Once your application is submitted, wait for conditional approval. This means you’ve been pre-approved but need an interview to complete the process. Processing times vary and can range from 24 hours to several months, depending on application volume and background checks.
Step 3 – Schedule Your Interview at Albuquerque Enrollment Center
With conditional approval, your next step is to schedule an interview at the Albuquerque Enrollment Center. Click the link below to access the DHS Trusted Traveler Program website:
- Navigate to your state (NM).
- Select Albuquerque Enrollment Center.
- Choose “Select This Location” to view available times and schedule your interview.
Step 4 – Avoid the Global Entry Interview Wait Time
If you see “No appointments available” or only distant dates at the Albuquerque Enrollment Center, don’t worry.
