Dubuque Regional Airport to Host TSA PreCheck Enrollment Event

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024

The Dubuque Regional Airport and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will host an extended TSA PreCheck® enrollment event at the Capt. Robert L. Martin Terminal, 10965 Aviation Drive, beginning Monday, October 7, and running through Friday, October 18. 

Appointment hours will be held each weekday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the terminal’s Airline Ticket Office #2. Applicants do not need an airline ticket to access the enrollment center. TSA recommends that interested individuals pre-enroll and make an appointment online at www.Identogo.com/precheck. Walk-in appointments will be accepted as space and personnel are available.

“The appointments completely filled up at each of the previous TSA PreCheck® enrollment events we held this year,” notes Dubuque Regional Airport Manager Todd Dalsing. “Extending this event for a full two weeks will provide an additional opportunity right before the busy holiday travel season for anyone who couldn’t get in during our previous events.”

Travelers who are enrolled in TSA PreCheck® can participate in an expedited screening process at more than 200 airports across the United States. They are allowed to keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and can leave their laptops and liquid 3-1-1 bags inside their carry-on when processing through an airport security checkpoint.

The application fee is $78, which covers a five-year membership. The fee must be paid at the enrollment center by credit card, money order, company check, or certified/cashier’s check. Cash and personal checks are not accepted. Enrollees will need to bring documentation proving identity and citizenship or legal residency status. Documentation requirements are listed on the DHS trusted traveler comparison tool website. Fingerprints are collected to complete a background check.

Successful applicants will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN), which they can access online about a week after their application is processed. Passengers should enter the KTN when booking airline reservations via a participating airline website, via phone call to the airline reservation center, or with the travel management company making reservations.
