Travelers may not be aware there are several locations in the Houston area where they can sign up for PreCheck, and that there are summer hours to help with the demand for the program. Recently TSA PreCheck announced over 5 million travelers have enrolled to date.

WHAT: 2017 is the busiest summer travel season on record, yet one way travelers can beat long airport security lines is by enrolling in the popular TSA PreCheck program. Travelers with the TSA PreCheck designation printed on their boarding passes can quickly get through airport screening without removing shoes, laptops, liquids, belts, and light jackets.

Luckily, enrollment is easier than ever thanks to IdentoGO’s 7 locations in Houston area, which has thousands of appointments available this summer. It takes just a few minutes and $85 to enroll. PreCheck travelers can enjoy the benefits of a stress-free travel experience this summer and for five years before having to renew.

Travelers can make an appointment and begin the application process now by going to www.IdentoGO.com/PreCheck and selecting the location most convenient for them. During the enrollment appointment, which takes just a few minutes, trained agents verify approved identity documents (a birth certificate or passport and another government issued ID) and obtain biographic information before live-scanning applicants’ fingerprints and securely transmitting the application package to TSA for review. TSA completes the application vetting process and issues a Known Traveler Number (KTN) via mail once the application is approved. TSA PreCheck membership costs $85 and lasts for five years – make an appointment and enroll now for a less stressful travel experience this summer and any future trips.
