TSA PreCheck renewal is available online and in-person

You can renew your membership online by filling out a renewal form and paying the online fee, which is currently $70 for online applications. Some travelers may also have to supply additional biometric information, such as fingerprints. To do this, you will need to visit a TSA PreCheck application facility, which can be found at major airports.
If you would prefer to renew your membership in person, you can do so at an enrollment center. If you have changed your name since enrolling, you must either visit an enrollment center or update your name by contacting your enrollment provider up to six months before the expiration date.
TSA PreCheck renewal can also be free if you use a credit card that includes TSA PreCheck credits or if your credit card or loyalty program covers the renewal fees. Additionally, you can now renew through CLEAR for $68.95, which is slightly cheaper than the traditional renewal method.
