How Much Does TSA PreCheck Cost, How Long Does It Last and How Do You Renew?

The short answer

TSA's page lists enrolment fees of $84.95 (CLEAR), $79.75 (IDEMIA) and $85.00 (Telos). Membership lasts five years, and TSA says you can get five years of benefits for $85 or less.

Enrolment fees

TSA lists three enrolment providers and their fees on its PreCheck page.

The page does not list a separate application fee beyond the enrolment prices.

• CLEAR: $84.95
• IDEMIA: $79.75
• Telos: $85.00

How long it lasts

TSA says membership lasts five years.

Renewal fees

TSA lists these renewal prices. Renewal is free if you join CLEAR+, which requires a separate CLEAR+ payment. The Telos in-person price is lower than its online price on the TSA page as retrieved, so confirm it on the official page.

• CLEAR: $72.95 online, $84.95 in person
• IDEMIA: $58.75 online, $66.75 in person
• Telos: $69.95 online, $58.75 in person

How to enrol

TSA describes three steps. Submit an online application, which it says takes as little as 5 minutes. Finish in person at an enrolment location, where staff check documents, take fingerprints and a photo and collect payment, which TSA says takes about 10 minutes. Then add your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to airline reservations and travel profiles.

Children 17 and under can join an adult in the PreCheck lane at no charge.
