My name contains a special character such as a hyphen (-) or an apostrophe (’), how do I fill my name when booking an airline reservation as a TSA PreCheck member?

The name provided on your TSA PreCheck application and the identification and proof of citizenship/immigration documents provided at enrollment must be the exact name used when making your airline travel reservations.  If your name includes a hyphen (e.g. Billings-Smith) or an apostrophe (e.g. O’Sullivan), please ensure to fill your first, middle and last name in the appropriate boxes when completing the airline reservation (e.g. Amelia Louise O’Sullivan).
