The Nexus card is a secure identification card that allows expedited border crossing between the United States and Canada. It is a joint program between the two countries that was launched in 2009. To apply for a Nexus card, you must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States or Canada. You must also pass a background check and an interview. The application process can take several months, and the cost is $50.
There are many benefits to having a Nexus card. It allows you to use dedicated lanes at border crossings, which can save you time. It also allows you to avoid the long lines that can form at border crossings, especially during peak travel times. In addition, Nexus cardholders are exempt from the requirement to file a declaration card when entering the United States or Canada.
