What Is TSA Pre✓®?

The TSA Pre✓®  is a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) program that allows for expedited processing of low-risk travelers at 200 airports across the United States. Travelers that are foreign citizens will need to meet certain eligibility requirements to be approved for the program. The process will typically involve in-person background checks and the process begins with an online application. As a member of TSA Pre✓®, you will have expedited clearance since you will not be subjected to checks such as having to remove lightweight jackets, shoes, and belts, or having light carry-on luggage inspected at points of entry.

Once approved into the program, the traveler is issued with a Known Traveler Number (KTN) that is valid for five years. With a KTN, you get access to TSA preapproved processing lanes which have little to no wait times.
