The Transportation Security Administration this week opened an application site for its TSA Pre✓™ Application Program at the Honolulu Airport.

This application process allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to directly enroll in TSA Pre✓™, an expedited screening program that allows travelers to leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt, keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1-compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on, in select screening lanes.

Honolulu travelers going through Honolulu Airport may go through a pre-enrollment process online at www.TSA.gov, make an appointment and complete their enrollment at the application center.

The TSA Pre✓™ application process allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to go through a pre-enrollment process online at www.TSA.gov and visit an application center to provide biographic information (e.g. name, date of birth, address, etc.), fingerprints, payment and valid required identity and citizenship/immigration documentation. All TSA Pre✓™ program applicants must visit an application center in-person to verify their identity and provide documentation to confirm their citizenship/immigration status as well as to provide fingerprints.

The TSA Pre✓™ Application Program requires a background check, fingerprints, and an application fee of $85 for a five-year membership. Once approved, travelers will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN) and have the opportunity to use TSA Pre✓™ lanes at more than 150 airport security checkpoints nationwide at more than 100 participating airports and on 12 major U.S. airlines including: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Virgin America.
