Apply for FAST Card Renewal
FAST Card Renewal Procedure
The renewal process is the same as for first-time applicants. You can renew FAST driver membership up to 1 year before your membership expiry date.
Membership is valid for 5 years. Renew your card by filling out an application form and attending another interview at an enrollment center.
The United States commits to safe and secure borders. Your status as a low-risk traveler may not be the same as when you last applied. Thus, the government conducts background and security checks from scratch. Law enforcement, immigration and border agencies carry out the checks.
If you are conditionally approved to the program you must attend a compulsory interview at an enrollment center. You have 30 days to schedule an interview otherwise you will be automatically denied from the program. You cannot reapply until 90 days after the denial has passed.
How To Apply For FAST Card
Follow the steps described below:
- STEP 1: Open the application by clicking on the “START YOUR APPLICATION” button above. Complete the form and submit it.
- STEP 2: Click on the payment button to pay the IVT service fee.
- STEP 3: When we receive your application form and payment, your data and documents will be carefully reviewed. If everything is correct, we submit the info to the U.S. government for background and law enforcement checks. It can take up to 6 months to receive a decision on your eligibility as a Trusted Traveler. When you receive a decision you must book and attend a compulsory interview.
- STEP 4: IVT will contact you with your completed Trusted Traveler profile so that you can check for status changes with your application. If your application is Conditionally Approved, you can set an appointment for an interview with the US Customs and Border Protection Agency.

How To Fill Out Your Trusted Traveler Form
Get your passport and driver license ready. If you're renewing, you'll need your old PASSID number. If you have a green card, you'll need your card.
Open the form. Choose if you're a first-timer or if you're renewing.
In the first section fill out your name and birth info. You must write your name as it appears on your passport.
The next section deals with your nationality and your right to live in the USA. You need your passport and any visas for this section.
Next, give your driver details. Add in the info about your car, if you want to cross the Mexican border.
Give the address you live at now and your mailing address. Then your addresses for the last 5 years.
Then, tell us where you worked for the last 5 years. If you haven’t worked, it’s not a problem, just check the box that describes what you were doing.

And finally, there’s space to fill out your bank card info to pay the govt fee. We will pay the fee on your behalf using this info.
THE TRUSTED TRAVEL INTERVIEW
There’s no getting away from the compulsory interview!
It doesn’t matter who you are or how old you are, everyone has to attend an interview.
Once the government have finished their background checks they will decide if you are a low-threat traveler or not. If you’ve listed any convictions or criminal charges on your application, you’re unlikely to get approved – even if the charges have been expunged. Similarly, if you’ve ever committed any immigration or custom’s offences, you’re unlikely to be accepted onto the program.
Interviews last 10 minutes for TSA Pre. Other programs take 30 minutes. They take place at at one of the official enrollment centers located all over the USA as well as in Canada and at other international destinations.
