SENTRI cardholders must confirm their mailing address even if it has not changed. You can update your information on line at the following site: https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/ The SENTRI (Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection) program, launched by US Customs and Border Protection, has dedicated commuter lanes where prescreened applicants and vehicles are allowed to cross the border Northbound into the US usually more quickly and efficiently. The enrollees have been rigorously background checked and have been determined to be a low risk to the security of the US border.
