This page is created for family applications for the NEXUS program. Family application for NEXUS cards offers extra convenience and will save your precious time. In order to take advantage of the benefits of the NEXUS program as a family, it is necessary that each member of your family is a member of this program and owns a NEXUS card. The number of children in the family does not matter as their application is cost-free. To begin the NEXUS family application procedure, please follow our three simple steps.
Any child under 18 is exempt from all costs related to the NEXUS program as long as they apply with at least one paying adult.
NOTE: You can apply as a family via a family application without children (simply avoid the fields for children). The fee and procedure for receiving/renewing a NEXUS card with children under 18 is identical to the one without children.
