How it Works

Step 1: Pre-Enroll Online

Begin the process online at your leisure. Using the information you provide, we’ll perform a background check to verify your information and qualify you for enrollment.

Step 2: In-Person Appointment

Once qualified, schedule an in-person enrollment at one of our enrollment centers. Bring a few identity verification documents, and a TSA agent will verify your enrollment.

Step 3: Smoother Travels

After your in-person interview, you’ll receive your Known Traveler Number (KTN), which you'll provide any time you book a flight.
