Ugh, the dreaded 'forgotten Known Traveler Number (KTN)' moment! It happens to the best of us. That little number is your passport to the TSA PreCheck lane, saving you precious time and stress at the airport. So, what do you do when it vanishes from your memory (or your phone)?
Luckily, there are a few ways to hunt down your KTN. First, check your airline accounts and past boarding passes – it's often stored there. Next, if you enrolled in TSA PreCheck directly, log into your Trusted Traveler Program account on the Department of Homeland Security website. You can find it there!
If you're still striking out, remember where you initially applied (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI). Each program has a different way to access your information. If all else fails, contact the relevant program's help desk. They're there to assist you.
Don't let a missing KTN derail your travel plans! With these tips, you'll be back in the PreCheck lane in no time.
