The short answer
The registry records TSA PreCheck Application Fee as a possible interpretation of TSA PRECHECK ENROLL. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Understanding the TSA PreCheck fee
Unreviewed registry note: The TSA PreCheck program allows approved travelers to experience expedited security screening at U.S. airports. When you submit a new application or process a renewal through an authorized enrollment provider (such as Idemia or Telos), the payment appears under this descriptor.
Does this fee cover my children?
Unreviewed registry note: Children 12 and under can typically accompany an enrolled parent through the PreCheck lane for free, but teenagers may require their own membership.
Avoiding TSA enrollment scams
Unreviewed registry note: Travelers must be extremely vigilant when applying for TSA PreCheck online. Numerous predatory third-party websites masquerade as the official TSA portal, charging exorbitant "administrative fees" on top of the standard government fee without guaranteeing faster processing.
Unreviewed registry note: Always begin your enrollment directly through tsa.gov, which will route you to an official, authorized enrollment provider. If you were charged significantly more than the standard $78-$85 fee, you likely used a third-party expeditor.
Why was I charged if I haven't had my interview?
Unreviewed registry note: The application fee is typically collected upfront when you schedule your initial in-person fingerprinting and background check appointment.
When do I need to renew my TSA PreCheck?
Unreviewed registry note: Membership is valid for five years. You can renew online up to six months before your expiration date.
