The International Falls Enrollment Center sits inside Falls International Airport, right on Minnesota's border with Ontario across the Rainy River, serving the far northern reaches of the state. As one of the smallest enrollment centers in the pipeline, it runs on a narrower weekly schedule than a typical airport office, so it's worth double-checking the days before you plan a visit. Confirm the terminal on Google Maps before you head over.
No available appointments at International Falls Enrollment Center?
With a narrower weekly schedule than most enrollment centers, appointment slots here can be harder to land than the office's small size might 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: Global Entry appointments here are only offered a few days a week. 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 inside the terminal.
- Await Final Approval: Most applicants hear back shortly after the interview.
Preparing for your interview
Bring your passport, plus your conditional approval letter and a list of every country you've visited in the last five years. The interview is largely an honesty check, so answer plainly. Dress professionally, as you would for any appointment with a federal officer.
Getting to your appointment
Parking at International Falls Enrollment Center
Free parking is available in the airport's lot for the duration of your visit, with a well-lit lot just steps from the terminal.
Taking Public Transit to International Falls Enrollment Center
There's no meaningful public transit to this airport. For travelers coming from elsewhere in northern Minnesota, driving is the practical way to get here.
No available appointments?
Check the Trusted Traveler Programs site directly for current hours and openings, or let Snapslot watch it for you. This office runs on a limited weekly schedule rather than daily hours, so a confirmed appointment matters more here than at a bigger center.
Skip the manual refreshing: Snapslot texts you the moment an International Falls cancellation opens up.
