Lane types explained
- Standard lanes: open to everyone; the longest wait.
- Ready Lane: for RFID-chipped documents — passport card, green cards issued since 2010, border crossing cards, enhanced driver’s licenses (EDL). Usually faster than standard.
- SENTRI: the dedicated Trusted Traveler lane on the Mexican border — shortest wait. Requires approved membership.
- FAST: commercial lane for certified carriers.
- Pedestrian: the walking line; big ports also run a pedestrian Ready Lane.
Trusted Traveler Programs (2026 fees)
Since October 1, 2024, Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI all cost $120 for a 5-year membership (FAST remains $50). Applicants under 18 are free when a parent or legal guardian is a member or applies at the same time. Apply at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov — background check plus an in-person interview.
Documents to cross
- US citizens: passport, passport card, or enhanced driver’s license (EDL).
- Permanent residents: green card (cards issued since 2010 work in the Ready Lane).
- Visa holders: passport + valid visa; check your I-94 record after every entry.
- Border crossing card (BCC): valid as a crossing document for Mexican citizens within the border zone.
If you live in the US without permanent status — DACA, TPS, a pending asylum case, or no status — leaving the country can permanently affect your case or block your return. Talk to an immigration attorney before traveling. See traveling to your home country from the US and how to find an immigration attorney.
