FAQ
How often is the wait time updated?
CBP publishes times several times per hour at busy crossings. This page reads CBP every 5 minutes and shows the time of each update.
What are SENTRI and Ready Lane?
SENTRI is CBP's trusted traveler program with dedicated lanes. Ready Lane is for travelers with an RFID card such as a passport card, border crossing card or enhanced license.
Why might the time differ from the line I see?
Times are CBP estimates and some ports update less often. Check the update time next to each lane.
