TSA PreCheck® application process

St. Louis Lambert International Airport in Missouri does offer TSA PreCheck®.

The TSA PreCheck® Application Program allows eligible travellers to receive expedited screening at over 200 participating US airports and on more than 81 participating airlines. The application process is straightforward. First, you must determine whether you meet the eligibility requirements for the various DHS trusted traveller programs: TSA PreCheck® Application Program, Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI. If you travel internationally more than four times a year, Global Entry may be a better option.

Once you have determined your eligibility, you can pre-enrol and make an appointment online or walk into an enrolment centre without an appointment. To find the enrolment centre closest to you, enter your zip code in the tool on the TSA website. The online application takes five minutes to complete, and the in-person visit takes 10 minutes. During the in-person process, the enrolment provider will collect your biometric data (fingerprints and photo), verify your identity documents, and collect payment. The application fee is $85, and several credit cards and loyalty programs offer assistance with this cost.

If your application is approved, you will receive your Known Traveller Number (KTN) in 3-5 days, though some applications can take up to 60 days. Once you have your KTN, you can use your TSA PreCheck® benefits when travelling.
