U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), together with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), will hold a NEXUS enrollment event for conditionally approved applicants in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Daniel Alonso, CBP senior official performing the duties of director for the Miami and Tampa field offices, stated, “This large-scale enrollment event is a great opportunity for travelers to complete their NEXUS interviews and get ready for the year ahead. By continuing our close partnership with CBSA, we’re making it easier for people on both sides of the border to travel securely and efficiently — especially as we approach major world-stage events like the FIFA World Cup 26, when demand for trusted, expedited travel will be at its highest.”
Consul General Sylvia Cesaratto said, “We are proud to work alongside our law enforcement partners, CBP and CBSA, to expand NEXUS interview availability and give travelers a convenient way to finalize their enrollment. NEXUS is designed to speed up border crossings into Canada and the United States for low-risk, preapproved travelers. These additional appointments in the South Florida area help ensure travelers are prepared well in advance of major international events, while also facilitating tourism, business travel and strong economic connections between Canada and the United States.”
Applicants interested in joining NEXUS must apply online through the Trusted Traveler Programs Enrollment System at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov. The application fee is $120 for five years of membership. After submitting an application online, individuals undergo a background check. If they receive conditional approval via their TTP account, they can schedule an interview at the upcoming event.
Children under 18 may enroll without charge if their legal parent or guardian is already an approved member or has a pending application.
The agencies recommend that those interested start their applications soon due to the approaching date of the enrollment event. More details about NEXUS can be found at cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs.
CBP describes itself as America’s largest law enforcement organization responsible for protecting U.S. borders on land, air, and sea.
