The Anchorage Enrollment Center sits on the second floor of the North Terminal at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, a short drive from downtown Anchorage and the surrounding Southcentral Alaska communities. As the state's main international gateway, ANC serves travelers heading well beyond the city, including those connecting toward Seward, Denali, and other parts of the Kenai Peninsula. Confirm the terminal on Google Maps before you head over.
No available appointments at Anchorage Enrollment Center?
As Alaska's only Global Entry enrollment center, appointment slots here serve demand from across the state, which can make them harder to come by than the number of Anchorage-area applicants alone would suggest. Rather than refreshing the Trusted Traveler Programs site by hand, savvy travelers set up Snapslot to send a real-time text the moment a cancellation opens up, so they can grab it before anyone else does.
Knowing the Global Entry Application Process
- Submit Your Application: Create a Trusted Traveler Programs account and submit the Global Entry application with the fee.
- Await Conditional Approval: CBP reviews your background before clearing you to schedule an interview.
- Schedule Your Interview: With only one enrollment center serving the whole state, slots here go quickly. If nothing is open, Snapslot can alert you the moment a cancellation appears.
- Attend Your Interview: A CBP officer reviews your documents and travel history in person at the North Terminal office.
- Await Final Approval: Most applicants hear back shortly after the interview.
Preparing for your interview
Bring your passport book, and be ready to speak to every country you've visited in the last five years. The interview is largely an honesty check, confirming your in-person answers line up with your application, so answer plainly. Dress professionally, as you would for any appointment with a federal officer.
Getting to your appointment
Parking at Anchorage Enrollment Center
Short- and long-term parking lots sit immediately adjacent to the terminals, with parking available directly across from the North Terminal itself. If you're looking to save on cost, the Park, Ride & Fly lot along International Airport Road runs a shuttle to the terminals every 15 to 20 minutes and tends to be the cheapest option.
Taking Public Transit to Anchorage Enrollment Center
The People Mover Bus Route 7 connects downtown Anchorage to the airport seven days a week, though the trip runs about 30 minutes. Taxis are also available curbside at the North Terminal and typically take around 15 minutes from downtown. Given Anchorage's size and spread-out layout, rideshare is often the more predictable choice for a single timed appointment, especially if you're coming from farther out in Southcentral Alaska.
