Longer hours for NEXUS implemented

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announces new extended hours for the NEXUS program in Point Roberts. Effective Sunday, January 11, the southbound NEXUS lane will be in operation from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. Previously, the NEXUS lane was only open from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The NEXUS program is designed to simplify border crossings for pre-approved, low-risk travelers. It is a joint program implemented by the Canadian border agencies, Citizenship and Immigration Canada and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Citizens and permanent residents of Canada or the United States can apply. As a NEXUS participant, you will be able to expedite your border crossing using a dedicated lane at the border during operational hours.

An application can be downloaded from the NEXUS website at www.getnexus.com, or obtained at your local U.S. Customs and Border Protection office. Simply follow the instructions and mail or fax the completed form with your payment and photocopies of your original travel documents, such as your birth certificate or passport.
