I have the EDL and I just use the regular lanes at Point Roberts and Track Crossing. Good thing about EDL is I don't need to carry my passport with me to go down since I always goto Pt. Roberts for gas very late at night. Quote:

On a semi related note, has anyone used the EDL (Enhanced Drivers License) to cross the border? They used to have a FAST lane for people with the EDL but I haven't seen that lane in quite some time now. I'm assuming they would use the regular lane but then again, if they're machine readable like the NEXUS cards, I don't see why they couldn't technically use a NEXUS lane too. Has anyone who has one (or knows of someone who has one) care to comment on what lane they use? | | |

You only need one piece of valid ID and that can be a passport, Nexus, or EDL. You DO NOT need a combination of these or any addition pieces of ID. Posted via RS Mobile | |

^ yeah in terms of information both sides are clueless...
some tell me I need a passport + nexus in case of random inspection, some tells me nexus on its own is fine... the two officers told me I need another piece of ID...
since I carry my DL with me all the time it's not like it matters haha

Appreciate the responses. I'll never bring my passport anymore 
I love the feeling of skipping 2 hour line ups where as nexus has a 30sec wait.

Both sides are looking to confirm citizenship. DL doesn't do that. Again, Nexus on its own is good enough. Quote:

Dont listen to ProBoostin - he clearly has no idea what he's talking about. As a Nexus cardholder, you have the option of doing a verbal declaration or written.

This weekend is considered to be one of the busiest days at the border. Factor in the construction of an additional 5 lanes at Pac hwy might be reason for a higher than normal wait thru Nexus.

Nexus has a backlog of 8-10 weeks currently. This is the time between making the initial application to the time you receive email notification to schedule your interview.

so i'm a little confused still... i went to my nexus interview 2 days ago... I remembered the info in this thread, so I asked specifically if I don't have a declaration form filled out, can I still use Nexus? The person said No, you have to go to the regular lane. Is there anything in writing about not needing the declaration form anymore, and verbal declaration is ok? Even in my nexus welcome booklet thing it says I need the form.

They told me... "you don't have to always use the form now, just declare verbally and if we need to tax you will you will have come in".

It is only recently CBSA started taking verbal declarations. Before you had to fill out the declaration form. Now you have the option of either verbal or written. You won't find this in writing because NHQ hasn't adopted verbal declarations as a national policy.

Crossed Point Roberts and Peach Arch about 8-10 times since January 2012 when I started using the Nexus.
None of them requested the written declaration form. Verbal declaration was sufficient.
