TSA PreCheck® for HME and TWIC® Information.
Interested project sponsors must submit a completed application to the federal security director or designated representative. The current version of the design application or facility modification application must be used.
Prior to submission, the security director will submit a request via the equipment request interface, receiving a request identification number from the requirements management advisory group – this number must be included on the application. For submission, please email your application.
TSA reviews the application and contacts the airport executive point of contact if any information is missing. After review, a technical interchange meeting is held. If determined an in-line system is not suitable for a given screening zone, the airport will be notified the application will not be considered for funding.
Information about TWIC readers can be found on the U.S. Coast Guard Homeport website.
All travelers, including TSA PreCheck® enrollees, must have a REAL ID or other acceptable form of identification (e.g., passport) in order to fly once TSA is enforcing the REAL ID requirement at airports.
To obtain a REAL ID, contact your state’s driver’s licensing agency.
