The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offers several Trusted Traveler programs, which expedite traveler screening through TSA security checkpoints. 

 These programs include:

• TSA Pre✓® Application Program
•  Global Entry
• NEXUS
• SENTRI
• Service Members or DoD Civilians

For a comparison of program benefits, see Trusted Traveler Programs Comparison Chart.

TSA Pre✓ saves you time and stress. With your membership, you can speed through security and don’t need to remove your:

• Light jackets
• Shoes
• Belts
• Laptops
• 3-1-1 Liquids

TSA uses unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, throughout the airport. All travelers will be screened, and no individual is guaranteed expedited screening.

How it works:

• Once approved for a Trusted Traveler program, members receive a TSA Pre✓ number - also known as a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Customers may save their KTN in agency, airline frequent flyer, or Defense Travel System profiles or enter the KTN into the Known Traveler field when making a reservation. Agencies provide the KTN in the SSRDOCO.
  
  
• The KTN membership number enables the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Secure Flight System to verify that you are eligible to participate in TSA Pre✓
  
  
• Travelers cannot present their TSA approval letter, CBP Trusted Traveler card, or CAC (military common access card) at the security lane for expedited screening; the TSA Pre✓ selection is embedded in the traveler’s boarding pass.
  
  
  • Service members or DoD Federal Civilians may enter their DoD Number (from the back of CAC) as a Known Number. They can supply their Known Number to a travel agent just like a Global Entry member.
    
    
  • DoD federal civilian employees must opt-in to TSA Pre✓® by visiting the milConnect website. After selecting the “My Profile” and the “CIV” menu tab when logged into the website, users will be guided through the opt-in process for TSA Pre✓. Civilian employees need to opt-in only once. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces do not need to opt-in.
     
• Participating airlines print a TSA Pre✓ indicator (such as TSAPRECHK, TSA PRE, or TSA Pre✓) on boarding passes to help you recognize when you are eligible for TSA Pre✓ on your flight.

TSA Pre✓

TSA Pre✓ selection is under the control of Transportation Security Administration (TSA); airlines do not grant passenger access to TSA Pre✓ expedited screening.

• This option is recommended for customers desiring the benefits of TSA Pre✓ and who travel primarily domestically.
  
  
• Eligibility is available to U.S. citizens, dual citizens and lawful permanent residents.
