Overview
- The agency, which rolled out the offer Friday, gives new applicants 30 or younger $20 off a five-year membership if they finish enrollment by May 31.
- Final costs depend on the provider after the discount: IDEMIA $56.75, CLEAR $59.95, and Telos $65.
- Applicants start at tsa.gov/precheck, fill out a short online form, then complete a brief in-person visit for an ID check, photo, and fingerprints.
- Most people receive approval in about three to five days and get a Known Traveler Number that speeds screening and allows small liquids and electronics to stay in carry-ons.
- Families benefit because children 17 and under can use PreCheck free on the same reservation with an enrolled adult, and travelers can opt in online for touchless ID lanes at major airports.
