The Sweetgrass Enrollment Center sits right at the U.S.-Canada border on I-15, across from Coutts, Alberta, serving north-central Montana. Because it's a working border crossing, the exact route in depends on which direction you're coming from, and the enrollment center itself sits up a skybridge or elevator rather than at street level. Confirm the port on Google Maps before you head over.
No available appointments at Sweetgrass Enrollment Center?
As one of the few enrollment centers on Montana's northern border, appointment slots here can be scarce relative to demand from both sides of the crossing. 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: If nothing is open, Snapslot can alert you the moment a cancellation appears.
- Attend Your Interview: If arriving from Canada, tell the officer on primary that you have an enrollment appointment; they'll direct you where to park. A CBP officer then reviews your documents and travel history in person.
- Await Final Approval: Most applicants hear back shortly after the interview.
Preparing for your interview
Bring all original identification, proof of citizenship, and proof of address. The interview is largely an honesty check, so answer plainly and dress professionally, as you would for any appointment with a federal officer.
Getting to your appointment
Parking at Sweetgrass Enrollment Center
Arriving from the south on I-15, exit at Sweetgrass (Exit 397) and follow the posted turns past the Duty Free store to the visitor spots near the skybridge, marked for FAST/NEXUS/Global Entry. From there, follow the skybridge signage up to the waiting area. Arriving from Canada, an officer will direct you to park in front of the main building instead.
Taking Public Transit to Sweetgrass Enrollment Center
