Applied to renew June 20, approved September 14 2018. No interview required.

Did not speak with an officer, but did this last week (my membership expired in August, had applied) at a Global Entry kiosk. The warning screen I have gotten for the past couple of months telling me that my membership was expiring still appeared, and said that my membership was expiring in "-15 days". I suspect the system is programmed to let you get up to -180 days, then cuts you off.

do not bring this up with an officer, based on my sample of ~5 at ~5 different airports and 2 different agencies, none of them knew aboot this rule and one (which happens to have an faq on the website of their employer) said that was a violation. just leave it to the machine to figure this out lol.

Data point from a friend: Applied for renewal Jun 25, approved Sep 19, no interview (exactly the same time period as Bram above). Also interesting, the TTP website says this:

IOW, it says the day before their birthday in 2022. I realize the renewal was just approved today, but is this normal? I told them I was expecting "[T+1], 2022" which is when they'll probably apply next time. :)

=aw

still waiting
 

its officially GREATER than 3 months since I applied for the renewal, still no change in status :(

It is best not to rely on a renewal notice from NEXUS. Next time, mark your calendar to renew at T-364 to eliminate any unnecessary anxiety.

the 6 month grace is super helpful and you're safe assuming you submit before expire, unless there is an issue with your application.

i think they do not send notices out because the logic is that anything regarding you and you personally (ie not a policy change affecting all members) has to be viewed thru goes, or what is now ttp.dhs.gov. and mailing stuff is a financial and environmental waste.

i didn't realize my expiration until GE machine told me i have 14 days or something. renewal for me took 2.75 months, zero issues with my privileges on every end.

ps how is the worldperks program these days? i sure miss those yqt-dlh runs on nw lol

Finally...
 

NEXUS Renewal applied for July 3, Approved September 26. No interview required.

However, new NEXUS applications for child members with GE—Applied July 25, conditional approval September 12.

Government processes are known not to be either extraordinarily consistent nor sensible. (Just as NEXUS is the best and, by far, the most inexpensive program for families with children!).

For those who do not require an interview, how and when do you re-take the picture (if at all)?

I'm waiting for my renewal to be approved (and I doubt I'll be in the "no interview required" club given my prior arrest record), but I really need a new picture.

well if you have to go thru an interview they will most likely take a new foto. or maybe they won't, but they will have the facilities to do so and i'd imagine they'd be happy to do that.

my card was reissued a month ago (no interview) with my photo from 2009. i look way sharper and in better shape than i did then. i kinda take the oldness of this photo as a badge of pride, not that anyone even bothers looking at it lol. i mean, our identity is verified biometrically, not based on this backwards 19th century model of a visual check between a passport photo and what's standing in front of you. but hey we each do our own thing. good luck with your process.

I had a CBP officer question my identity at YUL preclearance because "your passport photo doesn't look like you" and this was after I had been through the GE kiosk (fingerprint) identy verification.

I stared at him and simply scratched my bearded chin without saying anything, since my photo is pre-beard. Fortunately it didn't come to me asking if he thought the GE kiosk made a mistake when it read my fingerprints.

My bigger concern is that I use my NEXUS card for ID at TSA checkpoints in the US, and if a CBP officer decides that he's better than automated fingerprint ID verification, it is only a matter of time before I get in a Mexican standoff with a TSA agent:

"This doesn't look like you. Do you have any other ID?"
"That ID is me and it is valid, and is the only ID I'm producing for you."
(rinse/repeat until I am allowed to pass or get tossed from the checkpoint)

Not quite the same but I got hassled once using my Passport Card as ID at a TSA checkpoint. For some reason he took exception to it -- didn't refuse but said to the guys at the neighboring stands "Hey Joe, look at this" and proceed to walk over and show the other document inspectors. He clearly was waiting for me to show some other form of ID. I just kept telling him it was an official US Government document and finally he relented. The passengers backed up behind me were getting restless and I probably would have folded before too long.

This was when there were stories of agents copying address and rifling thru passports looking at stamps.

Using expired Nexus
 

Hi,

My Nexus expired last month and I started the renewal process before that happening, so I am wondering if I can still use it? I remember seeing somewhere that you can use it for 6 months after the expiry date IF you started the renewal process before. Any comments or experiences?

Thanks!

That is correct. If you read up posts, you shall find experiences you are seeking.

Next time, renew at T-364 to avoid any anxiety.
