Why Your Known Traveler Number Matters Now
A Known Traveler Number grants access to TSA PreCheck lanes for faster security screening at U.S. airports, issued through programs like Global Entry or TSA PreCheck. Travelers must add their KTN to airline reservations or profiles to see the PreCheck indicator on boarding passes and enjoy benefits like keeping shoes on. Approval typically arrives in 3-5 days after enrollment, valid for five years.
