The Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport Authority will host a TSA PreCheck enrollment and renewal event from November 10 through November 13 at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport.
The event, conducted with IDEMIA, will run from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day at 406 Burrell Avenue in Lewiston.
“We are pleased to bring this convenient enrollment opportunity to the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley and surrounding communities,” Airport Director Mike Isaacs said.
The TSA PreCheck Application Program is available to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents. Applicants must provide identity and citizenship documents, fingerprints and a photograph, then pay an enrollment fee of $79.75.
Approved applicants receive five years of TSA PreCheck membership. Most receive a Known Traveler Number within three to five days after completing in-person enrollment. Travelers must add that number to their flight reservations to use TSA PreCheck benefits.
TSA PreCheck, created in October 2011, provides dedicated screening lanes at more than 200 participating U.S. airports. Enrolled passengers may keep shoes, belts and light jackets on during screening, while laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food can remain in carry-on bags. Ninety-nine percent of TSA PreCheck members wait 10 minutes or less in a screening lane.
“Hosting this event locally makes it easier for travelers to enroll in TSA PreCheck and enjoy a more efficient airport security screening experience,” Isaacs said.
IDEMIA became an authorized TSA PreCheck enrollment provider in 2013 and operates more than 500 enrollment centers nationwide. Travelers unable to attend the Lewiston event can apply online and schedule an appointment at an IDEMIA enrollment center.
