Replacing a Sentri Decal (part deux)

I wanted to follow up on my last post about replacing a Sentri Decal.

If you have found this post, you can probably tell that replacing a Decal is not as easy as getting through the application process (and getting the first Decal). I talked about what happened to me and my reason of replacing the decal, however I had not completed the process.

AFTER replacing the windshield:
  1. Go into the GOES system and set up an appointment at a convenient time for you, be ready to wait! My appt time was 8:00AM, the earliest possible, but the lady who was processing such applications apparently was late, the 8:30AM appt completed their process before I did.
  2. Go into the appt and take your Sentri Card, registration and insurance. I took my Driver's License but was told I did not need it, I would take it again just in case, you never know who is going to review your paperwork and if they feel the need to see it.
  3. The clerk (maybe officer) may ask what happened to your windshield, will complete some paperwork and will take your documents. An officer will go out to the curb (whatever designated area you are told to take the car to) and check your car--careful if you have a sub-woofer, he's going to ask if you always have it in the car, OF COURSE I always have it in the car.
  4. On your way you go!
I know it is not much, however I did not have that information before so I hope this helps.
