SENTRI Renewal - I did it On-Line - No Cost
https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/pkmslogout
You must type your name in all caps AND put in your middle name if you have one on your card. Otherwise, the system keeps telling you of a name
mismatch error.
The password rules are the most ridiculous I have ever seen and I have some serious Gov't security clearances which require some weird things.
Once you get your GOES ID assigned to you, you will be told of the extension date on-line. I got 3 years extra, made no appointment and paid nothing.
Once you open your profile, you can add and remove cars and other things on-line.
I will try that other stuff soon.

I submitted the online application a couple weeks ago. Got a notice that it was "Conditionally Approved." Called, got an appointment for Monday!
They said I'd have the pass that day! Hooray!

Bizarre Password Rules
Just hit the link and start a registration. You will find the password rules long before you know what hit you.

Those are good rules for a password. They'll thwart several hacker techniques for getting into accounts and stealing identities. I'm glad to see the
gov do something right occasionally.
I have a pass so I keep up with the news and the latest I heard is that all passes are now valid for 5 years after issue. Of course things change
almost monthly. Anybody hear different?

YES, BUT
On the back of your card, you have an expiration date. You must go on-line and apply for an extension for the full five year period. It took ten
minutes of entry and such on the website and I got my three extra years, right then.

SENTRI success!
Went to SENTRI office at Otay Mesa for 7 a.m. appointment today. Left there shortly after 9:30, port pass in hand and transponder on vehicle. Staff
were very nice. Not too many customers! I got a little lost finding the office, but all's well! Now, I just hope the political situation in Mexico
calms down, the crime stops, our condo gets finished on time....yeah, I know, people in hell want ice water.....

*805 South to the 905 East.
*Exit Siempre Viva Road
*Turn left onto Siempre Viva.
*Turn right at the Shell Station (Roll Dr. or St.)
*Go the stop sign
*Continue straight. Go past two small employee only parking lots, then you'll see parking lot for visitors on your right. Park and walk straight
ahead. SENTRI office is well-marked (once you start walking)
Make sure you have all your paperwork with you, particularly proof of residency--utility bill, property tax bill (driver's license won't cut it).
Also, passport, car insurance card, car registration. Since I had everything they asked for, it really was a pretty easy process, especially since I
only applied online a few weeks ago. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
