Join NEXUS

Enrolment Process

Your membership is finalized at an enrolment centre.

When you report to an enrolment centre, a further review of your information and a full interview will occur.

• If you currently reside in Canada, you will be interviewed by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer.
• If you currently reside in the United States, you will be interviewed by a Canada Border Services Agency officer.

The officer will:

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

If you are accepted into NEXUS, the officer will:

1. explain the terms and conditions of NEXUS;
2. take a digital photograph of your irises to verify your identity each time you enter Canada or the U.S. in the air mode using the self-serve kiosks;
3. take a digital photograph of your face and issue your membership card;
4. explain the Travellers Declaration Card process (for Canadians only); and
5. show you how to use the self-serve kiosks for the air mode and explain how to clear the border in the land and marine modes.
