My siblings are going to Mexico on a family emergency and none of us have passports due to never traveling out of the country. Can we still use our Birth Certificate and California ID to pass?

We’re can I ask if my sentry for my auto has been approved. I have check ok the website but it states that something was aproved on feb, what I understood was the sentry but I need to know ni the car was approved

Rose Peterson | Oct 17, 2020
First: Did you go for an interview in person at the Homeland Security office? If you have NOT you must make an appointment to do so to get your SENTRI card. The approval notice means you passed the background check. There should be instructions on how to make the appointment.
Secondly if you had your car added, log into the website with your username and password. Then you will find a MENU. ( It is different on mobile platforms but 3 parallel lines or dots or the word Menu is somewhere.) Find PROFILE and select click on that. There is where it shows your status and approvals. It is also where you can add or exchange or delete your cars and change your address. It will show your vehicle under vehicles if you are approved.
Can I cross the boarder with only a birth certificate?
Dora Maldonado | Oct 18, 2019
Jaycee Love Cota | Oct 18, 2019
You technically can, but would be much more convenient if you also have an id.
You need your birth certificate, naturalization certificate or U.S. passport proof of where you live if you are a U.S. citizen. Car registration and proof of insurance if adding a car. All documents need to be originals

By accident on the road a stone sticks to the windshield of my car and broke, where the decal of Sentri is attached; now I change the glass but keep the decal. What do I have to do to report it to the offices of Sentri?
Gonzalo Sanchez Diaz | Oct 18, 2018
David Soto | Oct 18, 2018
Vehicles no longer require to have a decal. I would recommend that you go to your nearest Sentri office and inform the officer of what happened. As long as your vehicle is already enrolled in the program you shouldn't have any issues, but I would visit the Sentri office
