To require the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to link together applications of family members throughout the NEXUS application process, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to connect applications for family members living in the same household during the NEXUS trusted traveler program process. Under the new rules, eligible relatives such as parents, children, and siblings can schedule interviews together and may choose to attend joint interviews, while children under 14 are exempt from appearing in person. The changes aim to streamline the application experience for families by allowing them to manage their travel credentials as a unit rather than submitting separate, disconnected requests.
