I was planning to do the NEXUS cards for myself and my girls, but after I inquired about the process, I was not completely clear on what I have to do...and it left me even more confused. I sent an e-mail and asked if I needed to create an account at login.gov for each of my children and how I should go about applying on their behalf. The Canadian official who responded to me confused me even more. First, they simply re-stated that I needed to apply online...duh! I already knew that! But I am filling out an official government form on behalf of another person and I don't want to get in trouble for "falsifying" anything because the form is not clear that it is for someone else. For example, what e-mail address should I use for my children? THEY don't check their e-mails....I want to use mine as the contact, but then there would be THREE people listed with my e-mail address. The other thing that confused me was this statement: "Only Canadian Citizens approved for NEXUS will receive TSA Precheck." HUH?? The only reason I was interested in NEXUS was for the TSA Pre benefit. I am not a Canadian citizen so does that mean that I would not receive TSA Pre??
Anyways...I decided that even though it's more expensive, it would be much easier to simply pay the money and just get the TSA-Pre-Check for each of us. There is an enrollment center less than 5 miles from our house and they have appointments available as early as tomorrow morning. Based on that, it doesn't look like I need to hurry in regards to actually getting an appointment since they seem to be readily available. My question is, once we receive our KTN, which I know can take up to a month, is there any sort of "deadline" to add them to our plane tickets? We are flying on Delta and SWA and when I log in to my accounts, I can see the place on the tickets to add the KTN. Our trip isn't until October so I'm sure I have plenty of time, but I want to be prepared.
Thanks for any help you can provide
