Hazmat TWIC and TSA precheck, information please.

Whats the latest on these credentials? I have Hazmat and TWIC Real ID and carry my Passport card. I thought there was another credential that was good to have but I cant think of it at the moment.

Does TWIC cover TSA PreCheck?

Is this the current info?

I don't fly much but I've tried to use the state and CDL number to get precheck and it wouldn't work.But it did put me on tsa precheck when I entered the number on the back of the TWIC card.

 

If you have a TWIC card then you can use the PreCheck line at the airport. When you buy your ticket there will be a field for your Known Traveler Number, enter the number printed on your TWIC card there.

 

Just having a CDL doesn't get you into TSA precheck but getting the hazmat endorsement and going through that particular background check does.

 

That’s funny…….. I asked if I could use my TWIC card for pre-check TSA, they told me it’s a different screening all together. So I’ve never used it for that nor tried it.

 

Known Traveler Number may appear as KTN. Go to the airline that you are going to fly through and set up your KTN before buying the ticket on their app.

 

Who ever told you that was incorrect.

 

Probably so. I’ll find out first hand when the time comes.

 

Just fyi you have to enter the twic number at the time of purchase to get the pre check symbol on your boarding pass.

 

Ive tried for years and never was able to get it to work
