How does it work?
TSA PreCheck Renew is the process of renewing your TSA PreCheck membership. TSA PreCheck is a program that allows travelers to go through a more expedited security screening process at participating airports. To be eligible for TSA PreCheck, you must pass a background check and pay a one-time application fee of $85.

To renew your TSA PreCheck membership in person, you will need to visit an enrollment center and bring your valid government-issued ID and proof of citizenship. The renewal fee is $78 in person.
