TSA Pre-Check Mobile Enrollment

[Roz]

We just had a TSA van come to Napa (where we live), providing the opportunity for us to enroll in Pre-Check without having to travel to an airport. Unfortunately, they weren't offering Global Entry at the same time, but it should speed our travel at US airports to have Pre-Check.

The process was so easy and quick. We were able to schedule an appointment online -- both Mike and I right after each other. Then at the appointed day it took about 10 minutes to complete all the information at the van, and only 3 days later we had emails with our "Known Traveler Numbers."

There aren't too many of these vans going around right now. Here is the website where you can see them: Identogo. If you see that one is coming to your area, it is a great option. We never wanted to brave the horrible traffic around here to go to an airport to sign up.

That would make the process easier. I haven't signed up for Pre-Check but did for Global Entry and learned they are done at 2 different locations, Global Entry is more for customs. With Global Entry I used lines with no one waiting at ATL - that never happens!

Global Entry gives you TSA Pre-Check privileges: there would be no point in signing up for Pre-Check if you have GE.
