Apply for, renew or replace a NEXUS card: After you apply

Check the Trusted Traveller Programs System for the status of your application.

Once the program approves the first part of your application, you may schedule an interview. You must complete an interview at an enrolment centre to finalize your membership.

Exit notice

You will be leaving the CBSA website. You will link to the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) System website operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). U.S. CBP is the CBSA's partner in delivering the NEXUS program.

When you complete your application for NEXUS using the TTP System, you will be providing your personal information directly to U.S. CBP. Your information will be shared with the CBSA to determine your eligibility for NEXUS.

By continuing, you confirm that you have reviewed Canada's privacy statement and United States Privacy Act statement and agree with the use of your personal information.

Applicants under 18 years of age

Each family member needs their own appointment time, including minors. If you are booking an interview for multiple applicants, find a day with the correct number of appointment times needed.

Either one or both parents, a legal guardian or another adult must accompany a minor applying for NEXUS to the enrolment interview.

If only one parent with custody can attend the interview, or if the minor is accompanied by someone other than a parent or legal guardian, the accompanying adult needs to bring a letter of consent to the interview.

Letter of consent and supporting documents

The letter of consent is not required if the accompanying adult has sole custody or is the sole person recorded on the minor's birth certificate.

If applicable, the other parent with custody or shared custody, or the legal guardian of the minor must sign the letter of consent indicating that they agree to the minor becoming a NEXUS member.

The accompanying adult must also provide supporting documents and the custody agreement, confirming that the child can legally leave the custodial jurisdiction.

If the status of a minor changes (for example, due to a custody or consent change), you must notify the CBSA and provide supporting documentation.
