NEXUS holders that live outside of US/Canada... How did you change your 'mailto' address?

Used my Nexus for the first time yesterday. Used the GE machines because the fingerprint seemed easier than the eye scan. It was kind of fun and definitely faster, though I wished it had enabled me to bypass the belt-removing and liquid- and gel-unpacking. Definitely worth $50, even worth $71 including the parking at the YYZ interview once I repeat this for five years.

Question: When I leave MCO, can I use Clear, or is that a completely separate deal?

Completely separate deal.

You should be able to change your mailing address in GOES. It's your permanent address you can't change online.

Clear is a private company, and you need to be a member of that program use the Clear lane.

I think clear is just a waste of money.

Shouldn't be a problem, just don't seal the box until you're in the US. That way, the US border person can inspect the package if needed, to verify your story.

11 Business Days for me - unfortunately, we had our trip to the USA on the 10th business day, so it was waiting in the mailbox when I returned. I used Global Entry into the US, and there was no line on the return at Customs (since our flight was delayed 2.5 hours!!), so it wasn't that big of a deal.

One thing of note. Our son is 6 years old, and when he uses Nexus, he can angle the iris scanner down to his eyes. We used the Global Entry, and it snaps a picture straight out - my son had his fingers on the scanner, but my wife was pushing the buttons, and it took a picture of her. We had to go to the customs officer because the printed card didn't have my son's picture. So be careful to have the proper individual in the picture. It is so obvious now, but we didn't notice it as we were doing it...

It only gives you the option of US and Canada...

You can use TSA Pre, however.

You need to add the PASS ID (it's on the front of your card, like a 8-10 digit number) to your frequent flyer programs as your "known traveller number".

When the podium TSA agent scans your pass, and sees that you're TSA Pre, you get the line you describe (shoes on, computer/liquid stays in the bag)

Canadians will be able to use PreCheck after 11/15.

Here's a link to the info from the Global Entry website, which (from the email) I would guess to be the same for US-based NEXUS members:

Yes, but like other pre-check eligible travelers, only for domestic US itineraries. Anything international, including a segment to/from Canada isn't eligible, unless they make changes on 11/15 with Canadian citizen eligibility for trusted travelers - though doubtful as I would think that would have gone into the press release.

Finally got my card today!
Applied: Friday, Oct. 12
Conditional Approval: Monday, Oct. 29 (10 business days)
Interview/Approval: Friday, Nov. 2
Received Card: Tuesday, Nov. 14 (5 business days)
:-: In total just over 1 month (calendar days) or just over 20 business days from application to getting my card! ^

Did you have to activate your card?
In the letter with my card, it says I need to activate it within 30 days of receiving the letter.
When I logged in to GOES, the "Activate Membership Card" has now been replaced with "Manage Membership". When I click on that, I can see three buttons at the top: "Print", "Replace Card" and "Add Vehicle"...
I can't find the "Activate Membership Card" anywhere, I swear it used to be on the main page right next to my Trusted Traveler info.

Does that mean it is now automatically activated? :confused:
