TSA Pre Check!
"Breeze Through Airport Security: TSA PreCheck Saves You Time and Stress"

What is TSA PreCheck? 

TSA PreCheck is a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) program that provides expedited airport security screening for enrolled members, allowing them to keep shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and leave electronics and 3-1-1 liquids in their carry-on bags. Members use dedicated security lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports and over 90 airlines, which leads to a faster and less stressful travel experience.  

How does it work?

1. Application - You apply online to the TSA PreCheck program, which involves an in-person appointment at an enrollment center for fingerprinting and document verification.  Did you know that you can get this done at your locate STAPLES store. 

2. Known Traveler Number (KTN) - Upon approval, you receive a KTN, which is your unique identifier for the program. 

3. Add to Reservations - You add this KTN to your airline reservation

4. Expedited Screening - When you check in for a flight, the "TSA PreCheck" designation appears on your boarding pass, and you can use the dedicated security lane. 

Real ID Requirements!


DOMESTIC AIRLINE TRAVEL REAL ID REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older must present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, state-issued enhanced driver's license, or other acceptable form of identification, such as a valid passport or U.S. Military ID, to fly within the United States. Standard driver's licenses will no longer be accepted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at airport security checkpoints effective May 7, 2025. Individuals who are unable to verify their identity will not be permitted to enter TSA checkpoints at airports and will not be permitted to fly.
