What You Need to Know Before Booking a TSA PreCheck Appointment
TSA PreCheck is a program that allows travelers to go through airport security faster and more securely. The program is available to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain foreign nationals who have been approved for the program. If you’re planning on traveling soon and want to take advantage of the benefits of TSA PreCheck, here’s what you need to know before booking an appointment.
Eligibility Requirements
In order to be eligible for TSA PreCheck, you must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or a foreign national who has been approved for the program. You must also meet certain age requirements and have a valid government-issued ID such as a passport or driver’s license. Additionally, you must have no disqualifying criminal convictions or immigration violations in order to be eligible for the program.
Application Process
Once you’ve determined that you are eligible for TSA PreCheck, the next step is to apply for the program. You can do this by completing an online application form on the TSA website and paying the associated fee (currently $85). Once your application has been processed and approved, you will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN) which will allow you to access TSA PreCheck lanes at participating airports.
Booking an Appointment
Once your application has been approved, you can book an appointment with a TSA PreCheck enrollment center in order to complete the enrollment process. Appointments are available at select locations across the country and can be booked online or over the phone. During your appointment, you will need to provide your KTN as well as valid government-issued identification such as a passport or driver’s license in order to complete your enrollment in the program.
TSA PreCheck is an invaluable service that can make traveling much easier and more secure for those who are eligible for it. By following these steps and understanding what is required before booking an appointment, you can ensure that your experience with TSA PreCheck is as smooth as possible.
