I assume they'll need a passport to fly, but could you cross the border by land with just the birth certificate attached to a Nexus card?
Technically, no one needs a passport to apply for Nexus. A birth certificate is sufficient. Once the newborn is approved for Nexus, just use the card to cross. If you do get the newborn a passport, stop by any NEXUS office and get it added to the account.
