You must first apply for the SENTRI program through the DHS Trusted Traveler Programs website. You will be asked to pay a $122.25 fee for a 5 year membership. You will also have to fill out questions regarding your background.

After your application has been submitted, you will have to wait for conditional approval. Conditional approval means that you have been pre approved for the SENTRI program, but you need to schedule an interview to finalize your application.
The conditional approval process can take anywhere from 24 hours to multiple months, depending on the volume of applications, your background, etc.
