Apply for NEXUS Card, NEXUS Program

What is the Nexus Card/Pass?

NEXUS Pass is a border crossing card for expedited US Canada Border Crossing. NEXUS cards provide expedited travel at the US Canada Border for predetermined low-risk Canadian and US citizens. NEXUS pass holders can use the card as an air card when flying into the US or Canada as well as using it at land and sea points of entry. Using the NEXUS lane significantly speeds up the time spent waiting and being processed at the US Canada border.

 

NEXUS Pass Benefits

The list of NEXUS pass benefits may be small but put simply, the time spent queuing at the US Canada border particularly at peak times makes a NEXUS pass essential for anyone who crosses the border no matter how often. Some of the NEXUS program benefits are as follows:

  • Faster border crossing times even at peak periods.
  • Dedicated NEXUS lanes to expedite travel and save long queue times.
  • Faster border inspection time. Customs and Border Patrol estimate that it takes NEXUS card holders 10 seconds at the border guard’s inspection booth.
  • Fewer questions by border agents.
  • Less stress when traveling with children.

 

How to Apply?

  • Step 1: Open the NEXUS application by clicking on the “START YOUR NEXUS APPLICATION” button above. Complete the form and submit it.

How To Fill Out Your Trusted Traveler Form

Get your passport and driver license ready. If you're renewing, you'll need your old PASSID number. If you have a green card, you'll need your card.

Open the form. Choose if you're a first-timer or if you're renewing.

In the first section fill out your name and birth info. You must write your name as it appears on your passport.

The next section deals with your nationality and your right to live in the USA. You need your passport and any visas for this section.

Next, give your driver details. Add in the info about your car, if you want to cross the Mexican border.

Give the address you live at now and your mailing address. Then your addresses for the last 5 years.

Then, tell us where you worked for the last 5 years. If you haven’t worked, it’s not a problem, just check the box that describes what you were doing.

THE TRUSTED TRAVEL INTERVIEW

There’s no getting away from the compulsory interview!
It doesn’t matter who you are or how old you are, everyone has to attend an interview.

Once the government have finished their background checks they will decide if you are a low-threat traveler or not. If you’ve listed any convictions or criminal charges on your application, you’re unlikely to get approved – even if the charges have been expunged. Similarly, if you’ve ever committed any immigration or custom’s offences, you’re unlikely to be accepted onto the program.

Interviews last 10 minutes for TSA Pre. Other programs take 30 minutes. They take place at  at one of the official enrollment centers located all over the USA as well as in Canada and at other international destinations. 

THE INTERVIEW SCHEDULE

Photo: facial recognition technology can recognize you every time you approach the kiosk.

Document verification: we tell you which documents to take to interview.

Iris scanning: look into a machine for a picture detailing the intricacies of your iris.

Fingerprint scanning: no ink is involved, and the process is totally risk-free.

An officer explains the program details to you.
