WASHINGTON, D. C. (Thursday, July 11, 2019) – Area frequent flyers can obtain the coveted Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Pre-Check screening approval with ease at AAA this summer. The IdentoGo TSA Pre✓®  Mobile RV will make a stop in Brandywine, Maryland from August 12-16 at AAA’s Brandywine Car Care Insurance and Travel Center, 16301 Crain Highway, Brandywine, Maryland 20613. Registration for the event will is available.

 

“TSA Pre✓® is an expedited screening program that enables identified low-risk air travelers to enjoy a smart and efficient screening experience,” said John B. Townsend II, Public and Government Affairs Manager at AAA Mid-Atlantic. “For TSA Pre✓® travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear or belts. Today, TSA Pre✓® has more than 450 lanes at 200+ U.S. airports.”

 

 AAA is pleased to partner with the TSA to help provide this valuable service for AAA members and the general public. AAA Members and non-members must register in advance for enrollment at the IdentoGo TSA Pre✓®  Mobile RV. Click here to access AAA’s website for more details about the Brandywine event, as well as other upcoming TSA Pre✓® events.

Mobile IdentoGO agents will process TSA Pre✓® applications on-site. Appointments are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis so register as soon as possible. To complete the application process, you will need to bring documentation proving identity and citizenship status.

 

Your name on the documents must match exactly. If they do not, bring an original or certified copy of a court ordered name change document (to include marriage certificates and divorce decrees). If you have a valid U.S. passport, that is all you need for ID.

“With the busy summer travel season in full swing, having the TSA Pre✓®  Mobile RV onsite at AAA will help make the process much easier for travelers to avoid long lines at the airport,” said Townsend. 

 

In addition, children ages 12 and younger may use the TSA Pre✓® lane when traveling with a parent or guardian who has the indicator on their boarding pass. Travelers 13 years of age and older without a TSA Pre✓® boarding pass must go through standard security lanes. Last year, nearly 3.8 million Americans were projected to travel by air over the Fourth of July holiday period.
