              Frequently Asked Questions About TSA PreCheck

              What is TSA PreCheck?

              TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program that allows low-risk travelers to enjoy expedited security screening at participating U.S. airports. With TSA PreCheck, you can keep your shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and leave your laptop and liquids in your bag during screening, saving you time and stress.

              To apply for TSA PreCheck, you need to complete an online application and schedule an appointment at one of the TSA PreCheck enrollment centers. During the appointment, you’ll provide biometric information (fingerprints and identification), and after background screening, you’ll receive your approval.

              TSA PreCheck membership is valid for five years. Before your membership expires, you will receive a renewal notice, and you can easily renew your TSA PreCheck online.

              After you are approved for TSA PreCheck, you will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN). To use TSA PreCheck, simply enter your KTN when booking flights. When you check in, look for the TSA PreCheck logo on your boarding pass, which indicates that you are eligible for expedited screening.

              Once you’re enrolled in TSA PreCheck, you will have access to expedited security screening for all flights with participating airlines. Just make sure your Known Traveler Number (KTN) is added to your flight reservation. Note that TSA PreCheck is not available for every flight or airport, so check ahead.

              Yes! TSA PreCheck is available to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain foreign nationals. If you’re a foreign national, you can apply for TSA PreCheck if you’re traveling with a participating airline and meet eligibility requirements.
