Cross Often? Make it Simple, Use NEXUS!
What is NEXUS?
NEXUS expedites the border clearance process for low-risk, pre-approved travelers into Canada and the United States.
What is the benefit?
Membership saves you time by allowing you to use a dedicated customs inspection lane while traveling back and forth between Canada and the United States.
Your NEXUS identification card also complies with the U.S. Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) requirements that become effective June 1, 2009, when only a passport or other secure travel document will be acceptable forms of identification for U.S. and Canadian citizens seeking entry into the United States. Children 18 and under who are U.S. or Canadian citizens will be exempt and will only need to show proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.
Where can NEXUS be used?
NEXUS dedicated customs inspection lanes are available in the Niagara Region at the Peace Bridge and Rainbow Bridge, in addition to the Whirlpool-Rapids Bridge which can only be used by NEXUS holders. Please note that the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge does not have dedicated NEXUS lanes.
What is the cost?
Membership is only $50 U.S. or Canadian and is valid for 5 years – NEXUS cards for children under 18 years old are FREE of charge.
Where is the NEXUS Office?
The NEXUS Office is located at 10 Central Avenue in Fort Erie, and can be seen on the map below.
