Where exactly is the Global Entry enrollment center at SFO?

[platinum-android 4]

Hi, I recently got my Green Card, and I need to update Global Entry to work with my GC instead of my passport, for which I need to visit the GE enrollment center. I plan to do this during an upcoming international trip out of SFO. My questions:

 

1. Where exactly in SFO is the center?

2. Is it accessible to me at the time of departure from SFO international terminal? If not, how do I access it at the time of arrival?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Google it or go on global entry website to find out where it’s located at your specific airport.

You can access it at time of departure.  When you show up, knock on the door and do not attempt to enter. Wait for an officer and explain you want to upgrade your GE membership now that you have a GC.  Hand over your passport and GC. The officer might invite you into the office to test your GC or not.  

Do not attempt to use a GE kiosk with your passport now that you have a GC.  Do not attempt to use the GE lanes until you’ve visited an enrollment center. Otherwise you risk your membership.

Thank you so much! Any idea if it is before or after TSA screening?

Do I understand correct that you don't need an appointment to do this, then? I'm in a similar situation as OP and there isn't a particular lot of availability for appointments at the SFO center
