Hilton Head Island Airport will be hosting a TSA PreCheck® enrollment event in collaboration with IDEMIA, an authorized TSA PreCheck enrollment provider since 2013. Travelers will be able to enroll or renew their membership at 26 Hunter Road on August 18 – 21, 2026, from 9am -12pm | 1pm – 5pm . The TSA PreCheck Application Program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents. The enrollment process is quick, convenient, and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand. During the in-person appointment, applicants are required to provide identity and citizenship documents, fingerprints and a photo will be captured, and then pay for the application fee. IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck enrollment for $76.75 and if approved, travelers get a five-year membership with the program.

Following the in-person enrollment appointment, most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) in about three to five days. The KTN number must be added to flight reservations to enjoy TSA PreCheck benefits.

TSA PreCheck was created in October 2011 as a way to provide low-risk travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. It’s a great option for travelers looking to save time. Enrolled members have access to TSA PreCheck dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide, and 99% of members wait 10 minutes or less in a screening lane. TSA PreCheck passengers travel with ease and keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on and keep laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items in their bags.

"We're excited to bring the TSA PreCheck® enrollment process directly to Hilton Head Island Airport, making it more convenient for our residents and visitors to enroll or renew without having to travel to another location," said Jon Rembold, Airports Director for Beaufort County. "This event reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the passenger experience by providing valuable services that make air travel easier and more efficient."
