  1. A US citizen cannot be denied entry at a US border.

  2. A US citizen is required (in most cases) to have a valid passport to enter. However, rule #1 trumps rule#2: they will eventually let you in with an expired passport, but it may take a while and they may give some grief.

  3. No airline will let you board a flight to the US without a valid passport, because of rule #2. They don't care about rule #1. Getting to a border will be tricky.

  4. Somewhat different rules apply for entering from Canada and for land and sea borders.

If you fly directly from Canada, or enter the US by land/sea, you can use your NEXUS card to enter the US.



Otherwise you need a valid US passport.
