FAST Card is an initiative from the US Customs and Border Protection designed to expedite land crossing between Canada and the US for commercial truck drivers. If you are a truck driver, an American or Canadian citizen, or a Permanent Resident of either country, you may be eligible for a Free And Secure Trade (FAST) Card. A FAST Card is an identity document that allows you and your truck to be pre-cleared for customs when crossing the Canada-US border. A FAST Card lets you make use of special FAST lanes at certain border crossings. Get your FAST Card now and avoid delays. How to update fast card online
Go to the TTP website and log in to update your FAST Card information.
how to renew my fast card
You need to go re-apply using the TTP website. If nothing has changed since your last application, you may not have to attend the interview and your card may be processed quickly.
I know someone who lied on the FAST card application by saying that they have never had a criminal record. They have but received a pardon for it. That was not mentioned to either the Canadian or US border agents during the interview. What can happen to them?
Well, if caught, they can have their FAST Card revoked. And they can be banned from all future trusted traveller programs in Canada and the United States. And it’s reasonable to expect delays and interrogation at the border from now on. But there probably aren’t any criminal consequences.
I didn’t get my fast card after 15 days of my interview
Contact the office where you had the interview and see what has happened.
I have a criminal record which I have both been pardoned and received a US Travel waiver for, am I eligible for a fast card?
The answer is probably no, you are not eligible for a FAST Card. However, whether or not you are, depends on many factors, including the type(s) of crime(s), how long ago they occurred and so forth. The only way you will find out whether or not you can get one is by applying, sorry to say.

If you received a pardon will that hinder you getting a fast card?
Yes, you are unlikely to be approved. However, depending on what the crime was, what the sentence was, and how long ago it occurred, it’s always possible they will deem you eligible. The only way to truly discover whether or not you are eligible is to apply.
