Can I use NEXUS without passport?

If you do not have a passport, you are still able to apply for a NEXUS Card, but you will only be able to use your NEXUS Card at land or marine crossings, not at the airport. The most usual proof of identity if you do not have a valid passport is a valid Driver's License but you can use many a government-issued ID.
