Onsite enrollment for TSA PreCheck is now offered at ABIA
Thursday, June 27, 2024 by Beth Bond
As of Tuesday, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has a new onsite option for enrolling in and renewing PreCheck through the Transportation Security Administration to expedite wait times during security screening. The platform CLEAR now offers TSA PreCheck enrollment at its enrollment kiosks located by TSA Checkpoint 1. No appointment is needed for enrollment in either the CLEAR or TSA PreCheck programs at these kiosks. Since a consolidation earlier this year, all TSA PreCheck and CLEAR users are currently screened at Checkpoint 2 West. For travelers deemed low risk by the TSA, the benefits of PreCheck include keeping your shoes and belt on through the security screening process, not removing your laptop or liquids from your carry-on bag during screening, and screening via walk-through machines rather than full-body scanners. Enrolling passengers must provide an original or certified copy of identity or citizenship status documentation from the approved identification list. TSA PreCheck costs $78 or $85, depending on the enrollment provider, and lasts for five years.
