Dubuque Regional Airport to Host TSA PreCheck® Enrollment Event

JANUARY 20, 2026

The Dubuque Regional Airport and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will host a TSA PreCheck® enrollment event at the Capt. Robert L. Martin Terminal, 10965 Aviation Drive, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 24, through Friday, Feb. 27. The event is in collaboration with authorized TSA PreCheck® enrollment provider IDEMIA.

The TSA PreCheck Application Program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents. The enrollment process is quick, convenient, and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand. During the in-person appointment, applicants are required to provide identity and citizenship documents, be fingerprinted, have their photo taken, and pay the application fee. IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck® enrollment for $76.75. If approved, travelers receive a five-year membership in the program. Enrollment appointments generally take ten minutes or less.

Appointments will be available from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day of the event 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. Walk-in appointments will be accepted as space and personnel are available. It is recommended that those interested in enrolling apply as soon as possible, as appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

TSA PreCheck® was created in 2011 as a way to provide travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. Enrolled members have access to TSA PreCheck® dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports, and 99% of members wait 10 minutes or less in a screening lane. TSA PreCheck® passengers are not required to remove their shoes, belts, and light jackets. They can also keep laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, and food items in their bags during screening.

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.
