Families applying for NEXUS would get easier application and interview options.

This bill would make it simpler for families to apply for the NEXUS program, which speeds up border crossings. It would require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to link family applications and allow one person to schedule interviews for everyone. This means less hassle for parents, children, and other family members traveling together.

What Would Change

Today, family members applying for the NEXUS program likely submit individual applications and schedule separate interviews. If this bill becomes law, U.S. Customs and Border Protection would link family applications and allow one person to schedule all interviews. The agency could also offer joint interviews or exempt children under 14 from interviews, making the process more streamlined.

Key Provisions

Requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to link family members' NEXUS applications.
Requires one family member to be able to schedule all linked family interviews.
Lets U.S. Customs and Border Protection offer joint interviews for families.
Lets U.S. Customs and Border Protection exempt children under 14 from interviews.
