I think they do - I've been randomly selected for Nexus secondary. 10 seconds of questions, and they never even ask me to open my bags, unlike the others in secondary.

Only got sent to secondary once by US CBP at YYZ. At the secondary inspection counter they asked me why I was sent there and I said I had no idea as I did not have anything over any limit and no food. He said it was probably random, asked me where I was going, what I did for a living and peeked into my bag. Took about 30 secs.
However the Cdn folks seem to always have multiple questions when I have crossed by land even after 4 days in the US and a $800 allowance each for 5 pax. Even opened my trunk once.

Can you provide information of a link to the German one? I have global entry and would like to register for the German system.

Thanks

FWIW I just went to Edmonton passport office to renew mine ( expires in 4 months ) . If you pay regular old fee and get passport in mail it's old style ( machine readable).

If you pay $10 extra and pick-up in 10 business days you get new chip/electronic one. (5 year) If you want 10 year with chip it's after July 1 and much higher fees for both.

I asked what deal was on the roll out, she told me depends on PP office as to what is being issued.

Did they tell you to pay $10 more for the rush and you could get the ePassport(new) and that if you just went with regular you would get the old passport?

Or did you have to ask?

I asked the question as to how to get ePassport and was told only if I pay extra $10 for rush/pickup. For Edmonton office she said that was how they were doing it until new prices July 1 ( and release of 10 year passports )

Awesome thanks! I had kinda debated about waiting till July, but that would be cutting to to close so I had resigned myself to just getting to old one.

FWIW my receipt says ePassport as well, but with all government services I will only know for sure June 11th when I pick it up ;)

Going to just bite the bullet and do wife's as well, we are debating trip to a country with 6 month valid passport rule and she has less than 5 months left on hers.

If you have the global entry card, you don't need an appointment. Just go to the Bundespolizei (German Federal Police) enrolment office in Frankfurt in Terminal 1 near concourse A. open from 6:30 to 21:30 every day. If you are a US citizen with a nexus card, you will need to call them first to make an appoint ment and fax them your data so that they can verify with CBP. Here is a link:

Is ABG only offered in FRA? Anything in DUS?

I saw these kiosks at FRA and MUC but in DUS, however, I can't confirm the availability in DUS.

YOW NEXUS OFFICE - at least temporarily open on weekends for enrollment interviews!
 

My daugther was booked for her nexus interview on June 19 - okay for her (after school); not so okay for me, as it is a working day.

So, I got this email from GOES, and I took one of the Jun 16 slots for my daughter. I do not know if this weekend option for NEXUS interviews is temporary for good, temporary on a trial basis with the possibility of becoming permanent, or permanent.
