Sign Up for TSA Precheck

TSA Precheck is a program offered by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that allows travelers to go through expedited security screening at participating airports. Here are the steps to sign up for TSA Precheck:

  1. Check your eligibility: TSA Precheck is available to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents who have no disqualifying criminal convictions or immigration violations. If you are not sure if you are eligible, you can check the TSA website.
  2. Submit an application: You can submit an application online at the TSA Precheck website or in person at an enrollment center. You will need to provide personal information, including your name, address, date of birth, and citizenship status.
  3. Schedule an appointment: After submitting your application, you will need to schedule an appointment at a TSA enrollment center to provide your fingerprints and other biometric information. You can schedule an appointment online or by phone.
  4. Pay the fee: The fee for TSA Precheck is $85 for a five-year membership. You can pay the fee online or in person at your appointment.
  5. Attend your appointment: At your appointment, you will need to provide your fingerprints, have your photo taken, and provide identification documents. The process usually takes less than 30 minutes.
  6. Wait for your approval: After your appointment, your application will be reviewed, and you will be notified of your approval status. If approved, you will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN), which you can use when booking flights to access TSA Precheck.

By signing up for TSA Precheck, you can save time and reduce stress at the airport by going through expedited security screening.
