The short answer

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.

Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: When you notice the descriptor TSA PRECHECK* ENROLL on your bank statement or credit card bill, it represents an authorized government vetting charge processed by official enrollment providers like IDEMIA, Telos, or CLEAR under contract with the Transportation Security Administration. This billing entry corresponds to a TSA PreCheck Application / Renewal Fee, covering the background check and fingerprint processing required for five-year membership in the expedited airport screening program.
Unreviewed registry note: These charges typically appear when you submit a new online application or complete your five-year membership renewal through official government portals or at designated enrollment centers such as Staples, IdentoGO, or airport kiosks. Because application fees are collected immediately upon scheduling your appointment or submitting your digital renewal, cardholders frequently review this descriptor on their statements when maintaining trusted traveler status.
Unreviewed registry note: To verify your application status or retrieve payment receipts, log into the official TSA PreCheck portal or contact customer support through your authorized enrollment provider. If you suspect fraudulent activity or notice an unexpected charge from an unofficial third-party lookalike website, contact your bank immediately to file a dispute.
Common reasons for this charge

Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
Unreviewed registry note: If you did not apply for or renew TSA PreCheck, check whether someone in your household submitted an application.
Unreviewed registry note: Beware of unofficial third-party lookalike scam sites charging inflated fees. Always apply through official tsa.gov or authorized provider links.
How do I know if I paid an official provider?
Unreviewed registry note: Official providers are authorized directly by the TSA (IDEMIA, Telos, CLEAR) and fees generally range from $70 to $78 for renewals or $78 to $85 for new enrollments.
What should I do if I was charged by a third-party scam site?
A registry match cannot establish that you authorized a transaction or that it is safe. Compare the original account records. If you did not authorize a payment, contact your issuer promptly through its official channel.
