Wednesday, February 20, 2019

PULLMAN, Wash. - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) today announced that for the first time ever, TSA Pre✓® enrollment will be offered in the Pullman, Wash. – Moscow, Idaho area. The enrollment center will be open for five days starting Monday, March 4, 2019. Local residents interested in enrolling in this popular expedited screening program should make an appointment online now.

At every airport, TSA Pre✓®-eligible travelers can leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt. At airports without a dedicated TSA Pre✓® lane, which includes PUW, travelers must remove their laptops and electronics larger than a cell phone from their carry-on luggage as well as liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag during the security checkpoint screening process.

TSA operates dedicated TSA Pre✓® lanes at more than 200 other airports nationwide.

To make an appointment, visit the TSA website and select “Apply Now” and follow the online prompts. An in-person visit to the enrollment center at the airport is required to complete the application process. Applicants must bring a current U.S. passport or a driver license and a certified copy of a birth certificate. Fingerprints will be collected during the enrollment session.

The temporary enrollment center will be open Monday, March 4 through Friday, March 8 in the ARFF training room at PUW, 3200 Airport Complex North, Pullman, Wash. Hours are 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Thursday and 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday.

Travelers who want to enjoy the benefits of TSA Pre✓® on a consistent basis are encouraged to enroll in the program. The application fee is $85 and Trusted Traveler status is good for five years. It can be paid at the time of your appointment by credit card, money order, company check, or certified/cashier’s check. Cash and personal checks are not accepted. Walk-ins are permitted and will be accommodated around scheduled appointments.

Once approved, individuals will receive a Known Traveler Number making them eligible to experience TSA Pre✓® screening at airports nationwide. Children 12 and under are permitted to use the TSA Pre✓® lane when traveling with an eligible parent or guardian.

Fifty-six airlines participate in TSA Pre✓®. TSA continues to incorporate random and unpredictable security measures both seen and unseen throughout the airport. All travelers will be screened, and no individual is ever guaranteed expedited screening.

To date, more than 7.9 million people have enrolled in TSA Pre✓® nationwide. To learn more about TSA Pre✓®, visit the TSA website.
