The program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents.
The enrollment process is quick, convenient and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand. The in-person enrollment requires that applicants provide proof of identity, proof of citizenship, fingerprints and a photo. IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck® enrollment for $78 and if approved, travelers get a five-year membership with the program.
Following the in-person enrollment appointment, most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) in about three to five days. The KTN number must be added to flight reservations to enjoy TSA PreCheck® benefits.
TSA PreCheck® was created in December 2011 as a way to provide low-risk travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. It’s a great option for travelers looking to save time. Enrolled members do not need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts, or light jackets. They also access TSA PreCheck® dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide.
A recent survey by Destination Analysts found 84% of American travelers have existing trip plans with one-third likely to take at least one international trip this year. TSA PreCheck® is available at 200+ U.S. airports and in Nassau, The Bahamas.
“With the summer vacation season just around the corner, this TSA PreCheck® enrollment opportunity couldn’t come at a better time for travelers anticipating long airport lines,” said Ragina Ali, spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “TSA PreCheck® enables identified low-risk air travelers to enjoy an expedited and efficient security screening experience.”
TSA PreCheck® is valid for 5 years. In addition, children ages 12 and younger may use the TSA PreCheck® lane when traveling with a parent or guardian who has the indicator on their boarding pass. Travelers 13 years of age and older without a TSA PreCheck® boarding pass must go through standard security lanes.
AAA travel experts will also be on hand at the pop-up event to help book flights, hotels, cruises or other travel arrangements, provide travel planning resources, and offer a variety of luggage and other travel accessories to make trips more convenient and enjoyable.
