U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says participants in the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card program are compliant with the requirements for travel documents that are required as of June 1 for entry into the United States.

FAST cards can be used by travelers in commercial lanes or in regular passenger lanes at U.S. land ports of entry. They cannot be used in the NEXUS and SENTRI dedicated lanes.

CBP has been issuing new cards for current FAST members since March 16. The new cards have enhanced security features allow U.S. citizen cardholders to comply with the documentary requirements under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.

CBP says it will notify FAST members when the old cards will be deactivated.

FAST members who have not received new cards should call the enrollment center where they joined the FAST program to schedule a time to pick up their new card in the next 30 days.

The FAST program is available to commercial drivers crossing both the northern and southern borders. The program has more than 91,000 members.
