Join NEXUS

Enrolment Process

Your membership is finalized at a NEXUS Enrolment Centre.

When you report to the enrolment centre, a review of your original documents and a full interview will occur.

You will be interviewed by a CBSA and/or U.S. CBP officer, who will do the following:

1. review the information you provided on your application form to make sure it is still valid;
2. verify your identity and review original documents such as proof of citizenship and residency documents, work permits and visas;
3. ensure that you meet all eligibility requirements for membership; and
4. take your fingerprints.

If you are accepted into NEXUS, the officer will do the following:

1. explain the terms and conditions of NEXUS;
2. ask to take a digital photograph of your irises to verify your identity each time you enter Canada or the United States in the air mode of transportation using the self-serve kiosks;
3. take a digital photograph of your face for your NEXUS membership card;
4. explain the Traveller Declaration Card (Form E601) process (for Canadian residents only);
5. explain how to cross the border in the air, land and marine modes of transportation using your NEXUS card and, where possible, show you how to use the self-serve kiosks in the air mode; and
6. inform you that you may be subject to an inspection any time you enter Canada or the United States.
