The AAA office in Bettendorf is hosting a TSA PreCheck enrollment event this week in collaboration with IDEMIA, a TSA PreCheck authorized enrollment provider.
Travelers will be able to enroll at AAA’s 2281 Falcon Ave, Bettendorf, office from Tuesday-Friday, Nov. 11–14, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. The program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents.
The enrollment process is quick, convenient and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand, AAA said. The in-person enrollment requires applicants provide proof of identity, proof of citizenship, fingerprints and a photo.
IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck enrollment for $78. 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 December 2011. It is a way to provide low-risk travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. It’s also a great option for travelers looking to save time. Enrolled members do not need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts, or light jackets. They also access TSA PreCheck dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide.
“We are excited to offer this opportunity to our members and the community,” AAA Retail Sales Leader Scott Fogelson said in a news release. “As travel numbers have increased in recent years, having TSA PreCheck can help save some time navigating airport security, just as a trip begins.”
If you are unable to attend a AAA enrollment event, but want to enroll in TSA PreCheck, complete the application online and schedule an appointment at one of the 560+ enrollment centers nationwide.
