Once I enroll in TSA PreCheck®, how soon can I use the TSA PreCheck® lanes?

You will not be able to access the TSA PreCheck® lane directly after enrollment. You will need to wait until you are approved and receive your Known Traveler Number (KTN) before you can use the TSA PreCheck® lanes at airports nationwide. Most TSA PreCheck® applicants receive their KTN in 3-5 days, though some applications can take up to 60 days. TSA PreCheck® applicants will receive notice of their approval status and KTN by your preferred method of communications, email or phone. You can also check your status on our website at tsaprecheckbyclear.tsa.dhs.gov or contact customer support by phone (1-888-831-9070) 8am – 10pm ET, weekdays or email (CLEARCustomerSupport@tsa.dhs.gov) anytime. Be sure to add your KTN to your airline reservations in order to receive the TSA PreCheck® indicator on your boarding pass when traveling.
