What You Can Use Your FAST For

  • Use your FAST Card to get through customs faster at the border;

Common questions

A FAST Card is an ID document for use in the commercial clearance program between Canada and the United States, known as Free and Secure Trade. The FAST card certifies the bearer as a truck driver has been pre-cleared to cross the US-Canada border. The FAST card allows the driver to get through customs at the border much faster and use special FAST lanes at the busiest border crossings special customs kiosks and special lanes at Canada-US border crossings.

To get a FAST Card, you have to prove to both CBSA and US CBP that you are not a customs risk. You must complete an application and submit proofs of identity and status or citizenship to verify you are who you say you are. You must also attend an interview corroborate everything you said on your application.

The time it takes to get a FAST Card depends upon the time of year and which enrolment centre you are able to attend. Applications can be pre-approved within as little as a week or as long as 10 weeks. Interviews can be scheduled within days but can also take weeks or even months, depending on how busy the enrolment centre is.

Note: In Border Cards’ experience, summer is the busiest time for FAST applications and the waiting times are longest between May and September.
