A NEXUS card is a membership identification card you can use when entering Canada or the United States at designated NEXUS air, land and marine ports of entry. The NEXUS program is jointly run by the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. A NEXUS membership allows you to cross the border quickly. It is only for low-risk, pre-approved travelers. You must apply for it and pay a $50 fee. NEXUS memberships are good for 5 years. You must still travel with your passport. Learn more about the NEXUS program on the Government of Canada's website. Last Reviewed: June 2023
