How do you know if PreCheck is active?

Visit the TSA PreCheck website and click on the Check Status button. Enter your full name, date of birth and passport number or your Known Traveler Number (KTN). Review your TSA PreCheck status.

Which is better TSA PreCheck or Global Entry?

If you mostly travel domestically and want access to expedited security screening, TSA PreCheck may make sense for you. If you travel internationally and want access to faster customs screening upon reentry to the U.S., consider Global Entry, which includes TSA PreCheck, instead.


Does your TSA PreCheck number stay the same when you renew?

Yes. Members will keep the same KTN during the renewal process.
