Business travelers looking to speed up the airport security process now have an option.
TSA PreCheck, being offered by IdentoGO, can provide a designation printed on boarding passes that allows a person to quickly get through airport screening without removing shoes, laptops, liquids, belts and light jackets. Three locations in Salt Lake City offer PreCheck, which costs $85 for an enrollment that is good for five years.
The program is being offered at Salt Lake City International Airport, Terminal 2, weekdays from 7:30-11:30 a.m. and noon-4 p.m.; 888 S. 200 E., Suite A, Salt Lake City, on Tuesdays through Thursdays, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., and Fridays, 9 a.m.-noon; and 925 E. Executive Park Drive, Suite C, Salt Lake City, weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m.
{mprestriction ids="1,3"}Travelers can make an appointment and begin the application process by going to www.IdentoGO.com/PreCheck and selecting a location. During the enrollment appointment, trained agents verify approved identity documents — a birth certificate or passport and another government-issued ID — and obtain biographic information before live-scanning applicants’ fingerprints and securely transmitting the application package to TSA for review. TSA completes the application vetting process and issues a Known Traveler Number (KTN) via mail once the application is approved.
The company recently announced that more than 5 million people have enrolled in the program, which is available at 390 locations, including more than 180 airports, with 37 participating airlines nationwide.{/mprestriction}
