Temporary TSA PreCheck Application Center open through Friday

Residents of Waco will be able to enroll in the Transportation Security Administration’s popular TSA PreCheck program at Waco Regional Airport Aug. 16-20.

The airport is a convenient location to sign up for the program that enables enrolled travelers to
“Travel with Ease” by experiencing an expedited security screening process. The “pop-up”
office will be located inside the lobby of the terminal building in the baggage claim area.

The application process allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to enroll directly
in TSA PreCheck – an expedited screening program that allows travelers to leave on their
shoes, light outerwear, and belt, keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1 compliant
liquids/gels bag in a carry-on, in select TSA airport checkpoint screening lanes. More than 200
airports participate in TSA PreCheck program nationwide.

Visit the Transportation Security Administration TSA PreCheck® |website at
https://www.tsa.gov/precheck to register and schedule an appointment for the upcoming
enrollment event. Applicants must bring proof of identity and U.S. citizenship. This can either
be through a current U.S. passport, or driver’s license and a copy of their birth certificate. The
enrollment process must be completed in person at the enrollment location for the proper
paperwork and fingerprints to be collected.

The application fee is $85 and can be paid during the enrollment appointment with either a
credit card, money order, company check or certified/cashier’s check. Cash or personal checks
are not accepted.

After completing enrollment, successful applicants will receive a Known Traveler Number
(KTN) via U.S. mail within two weeks and is valid for five years. The enrollee should enter the
provided KTN in the “Known Traveler Number” field when booking airline reservations. The
KTN also can be added when booking reservations online via a participating airline website,
via phone call to the airline reservation center, or with the travel management company.
Additionally, the KTN can be entered in participating airline frequent flyer profiles as well.
