Thank you crimsona and Jono.

First time I've seen that distinction made, but it does kind of make sense.

Does it affect any other aspects of normal use?

There are reciprocal agreements between global entry and some other countries, but I believe nexus members are not able to apply for many of those

Nexus members who are US citizens can. I don't know about Canadian citizens.

Can't speak to everywhere, but our NEXUS worked fine entering Australia through the automated kiosks

^ Canadian NEXUS members not eligible as agreement with other country is with US not Canada.

Australia SmartGate are available to all US passport holders along with passport holders of a dozen other countries.

Question - has anyone just - not renewed? I have to renew it by October, so I have to decide soon, and I'm kind of on the fence about it. I (Canadian) rarely go to the States, have only gone once when I was able to use my NEXUS card (as in, without non-Nexus people), and am planning to move to Europe in the next year or so - which will mean even fewer visits to the US. To be honest, I forget I have it most of the time. It just seems like a ton of hassle to renew (cost, setting up an interview, figuring out all my names and dates when I have changed homes and employment a LOT), if I'm unlikely ever to use it. Can you get in trouble for just letting it expire, if you simply go to the US again with a regular passport in the regular lane?

It's pretty similar to letting your driver's licence expire if you're not driving anymore. As long as you use the regular lanes once it expires, there's no difference. It might be helpful to keep your card after it expires in case they would ask for it (or the validity dates) if you later decide to enroll in NEXUS again.

If you choose to domicile in Germany or the UK, it may be worth it to look into EasyPass (DE) or Registered Traveller (UK) so you can use the automated lanes.

It's not just about going to the USA. It is also about entering Canada. If you still have ties to Canada and plan to return, you can use it at Customs when you get back here. Probably 1/3 of the use I make of mine is non-USA to Canada travel.

It's not really that difficult to renew, but like anything else in life, it's just a cost-benefit analysis and likely whether it is worth it for you.

For me, as a dual Canadian-American, who does multiple trips a year between Canada and the US, its a no brainer - the $50 for 5 years is nothing - especially for the time its saved me. I can't count the number of times its saved me at least 45 minutes - 1 hour in US Pre-clearance at YYZ. Even 1 or 2 Sunday night or early Monday morning trips back to the US over that time period is worth it to me - and I do way more than that. Honestly, it takes a little longer to get through for me now, since many of those trips now involve an infant (also a member), and so the requirement to see the agent - but still in the GE/Nexus line, which still saves a lot of time.

If you are moving to the EU, and don't plan to come back to the US/Canada much, then maybe its not worth it. But if you do those trips, and either on your own or with other Nexus members, its probably well worth it. If you are frequently traveling with others without it anyway, again, maybe not worth it. Or if those people are close to you (i.e. family, etc.) make sure they get it. My wife didn't have it for a while - Two trips were about all it took to get her onboard.

Hi,

I had a question I was hoping someone could help with. I have an interview on Friday for my Nexus application and I'm concerned about my supporting documentation around my residence. When I applied several months ago I put down one address. However I recently moved to a new apartment. I no longer have documentation to prove my residence at my old location. The new location I'm moving into is my girlfriend's so I'm not on the lease and I cannot be put onto the power bill (the building bills her directly as she is the owner of the unit). All I can really get before Friday is a bank statement with my new address on it and the receipt of my request to change the address on file for my TN Visa. Do you believe that the bank statement will suffice? Or should I postpone until I can get another utility under my name and possibly a driver's license under that address? For what it's worth I'm a Canadian citizen currently living in the states under a TN Visa. Please let me know if you would require anymore details.

Much thanks to any help someone can provide.

I would not want to rely on just the bank statement.

• Do you get any mail at that address? Bring them that, unopened if possible
  
• Do you own a car? Get your vehicle registered at that address and bring them a copy of the registration
  
• Get a voter registration card
  
• U.S. Postal Service change of address confirmation form

just some ideas.

When I went for my NEXUS interview, I was ask to show my driver license. If you can show your driver license with the new address; i.e. proof of address change, that shall suffice for DL's part. You can also explain your situation to interview officer with all the documentations you have. I am sure your situation is not the first case they have encountered. Good luck.

Great thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I don't have a driver's license under my new address. I think what I'll bring is the following: a piece of mail I received at my new address from my insurance company, my change of address card from the USPS, my bank statement with the new address, and a receipt from immigration acknowledging my request to change the address recorded on my TN Visa. Like suggested I'll try just to explain the situation that I'm in and hopefully they'll understand.

Have you changed your address with DMV yet? If you have, you must have some documentation from DMV.
