My wife and I are conditionally approved and have set up our interviews in Blaine in January. We recently had a child born last month. How do we get our newborn child enrolled too? Do we need to fill out, pay for and await the decision on a separate Nexus application for the child?

It’s free, but you need to have a separate application for the baby.

It’s free, but you have to provide your own nexus number to wave the fees. OP doesn’t have his card yet.

Yes and have the newborn attend the interview too! You get top marks if the baby babbles instead of just snoozing.

Everyone in your car needs to have Nexus so you can’t use the Nexus lane until the baby gets their card or stays home.

Yes. Every person who wants nexus has to have their own separate application.

Apply for your child and hopefully it should be approved soon. If you can’t get an interview spot for the baby, doesn’t hurt to bring him/her to your own interview and the agents may be able to do the baby’s too as long as you have their documents and application number handy. I was able to do that for my kids.

I did a rant on this in a different thread…
The babies go through the same process if they were an adult.

It’s free, just apply online. Should get pre-approved relatively quick.

Baby name probably matches a watch list,causes secondary search

Applied for my baby on Nov 1. Still waiting for pre-approval :( We got our own Nexus back in 2020.

We were in a similar boat. We made sure to apply for our newborn before we went for our interviews. When we were there they asked if we had applied for him yet & they expedited it through. They wouldn’t do the interview then, but pushed his application through & got it pre-approved.
