TSA PreCheck® program has proven to be a true win-win with enhanced security for the entire air travel system and convenience for the traveling public. Working closely with our partners at TSA, we will continue to help expand this program and make convenient, hassle-free travel a reality for millions more Americans.

TSA PreCheck® is an expedited security screening program that connects travelers departing from more than 150 U.S. airports with smarter security and a more convenient travel experience. TSA PreCheck® travelers do not need to remove shoes, laptops, liquids, belts or light jackets at security checkpoints. TSA PreCheck® helps take the stress out of travel for more than 2 million travelers who have enrolled in the TSA PreCheck® program.

Passengers interested in enrolling in TSA PreCheck® are encouraged to begin the application process by pre-enrolling online and then making an appointment at a local center. Upon arrival, trained agents verify approved identity documents (a birth certificate or passport and another government issued ID) and obtain biographic information before live-scanning applicants’ fingerprints and securely transmitting the application package to TSA for review. The agency completes the application vetting process and issues a Known Traveler Number (KTN) via mail once the application is approved. An applicant can check the status online by visiting https://universalenroll.dhs.gov/ and clicking on “Check Status.” Applicants pay an $85 processing fee, which covers five years of access to TSA PreCheck®. The entire application process takes just a few weeks to complete.
