Kalamazoo, Michigan – Arriving just in time for the start of the busy winter travel

season, the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport is pleased to host another

Temporary TSA PreCheck Application Center. Residents of Southwest Michigan can

enroll in the Transportation Security Administration’s popular TSA PreCheck® program

at the Airport from November 6

– 10

The airport is a convenient location to sign up for the popular program that enables

enrolled travelers to “Travel with Ease” by experiencing an expedited security screening

process. The “pop-up” office will be located in the airport terminal.

The application process allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to enroll

directly in TSA PreCheck - an expedited screening program that allows travelers to leave

on their shoes, light outerwear and belt, keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1

compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on, in select TSA airport checkpoint screening lanes.

More than 200 airports participate in TSA PreCheck nationwide and more than 70

airlines participate in the program.

To register for the upcoming TSA PreCheck enrollment event, visit the Airport TSA Pre-

Check Website. The page includes step-by-step instructions on how to pre-enroll.

Applicants must bring proof of identity and U.S. citizenship. This can either be through a

current U.S. passport, or through a driver’s license and a copy of their birth certificate.

The enrollment process must be completed in person at the Airport in order for the

proper paperwork and fingerprints to be collected. Those participating in the November

6-10 event can park in short-term or long-term parking. Hours of operation will be from

9am-12pm & 1pm-5pm with a lunch break from 12pm-1pm. The application fee is $78

and can be paid during the enrollment appointment with either a credit card, money

order, company check or certified/cashier’s check. Cash or personal checks are not

accepted.

After completing enrollment, successful applicants will receive a Known Traveler

Number (KTN) via U.S. mail within about two weeks that is valid for five years. To learn

more about TSA PreCheck visit the TSA PreCheck page or the TSA PreCheck Frequently

Asked Questions page.
