The TSA PreCheck Application Program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents. This event is open to all, you do not need to be a AAA member to take advantage of this TSA Event. Walk-ins are welcomed but appointments will be prioritized.
“AAA expects air travel to set new records for this holiday travel season,” said Tiffany Wright, public affairs director for AAA – The Auto Club Group in the Carolinas. “This means crowded airports and potentially longer lines at TSA security checkpoints, so we encourage travelers interested in bypassing the general line to visit the AAA Branch in Winston-Salem.”
The enrollment process is quick, convenient, and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand. During the in-person appointment, applicants are required to provide identity and citizenship documents, fingerprints and a photo will be captured and then pay for the application fee. IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck enrollment for $78 and if approved, travelers get a five-year membership with the program.
Following the in-person enrollment appointment, most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) in about three to five days. The KTN number must be added to flight reservations to enjoy TSA PreCheck® benefits.
TSA PreCheck® was created in October 2011 to provide low-risk travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. It’s a great option for travelers looking to save time. Enrolled members have access to TSA PreCheck dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide, and 99% of members wait 10 minutes or less in a screening lane. TSA PreCheck passengers travel with ease and keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on and keep laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items in their bags.
