Why Enroll in TSA PreCheck?
TSA PreCheck was launched to expedite and enhance the traveler screening process. Consumers who have signed up to the program may no longer need to go through regular security checks, such as removing certain items of clothing or electronics at checkpoints.
According to TSA, PreCheck members reported waiting less than 10 minutes at airport checkpoints.
“Every minute matters during your travel day and TSA PreCheck will help get you through security with ease,” Wood added.
The program is open to travelers who are considered “low risk,” or lawful permanent U.S. residents. Enrollees undergo criminal history vetting before securing a Known Traveler Number, which is a requirement to participate in the program.
TSA PreCheck lanes are also available to citizens of partner countries enrolled in similar trusted traveler programs, such as Global Entry, NEXUS or Secure Electronic Network for Travelers’ Rapid Inspection.
TSA PreCheck lanes are available at over 200 airports nationwide, with approximately 90 airlines participating.
What TSA PreCheck Centers Offer
Travelers can apply for or renew their TSA PreCheck membership at Telos-run enrollment centers nationwide.
New applicants can complete an online pre-enrollment and schedule an appointment at a nearby center for in-person processing. Meanwhile, existing TSA PreCheck members can renew their status online through Telos in just a few minutes, even if they originally enrolled with another provider.
