  4. This is the 9-digit number provided to you during your TSA application process. It usually begins with TT if you applied through the TSA PreCheck Application program. [1]
  5. Your PreCheck number is now saved to your profile.
    • If the name on your Delta account doesn't match what's on your driver's license or passport, you won't be able to use PreCheck.

    • If you've already booked a flight through Delta or a travel service like Expedia or Orbitz, check your existing reservations to make sure your KTN is available. Depending on how you booked your travel, you might need to edit your reservation to add your KTN to each booking.

      Tips

      • If the name on your ID is not the same as what the TSA has on file for you, you can contact the TSA by calling (855) 347-8371 or submit on online request . [4]
      • If you add your KTN too close to your travel date, you might not see the TSA PreCheck logo on your boarding pass. In this situation, you can talk to a Delta representative at the airport to make sure your TSA security check goes smoothly.
      • If you also fly with other airlines like Southwest or American Airlines , be sure to add your KTN to your profile with those services as well.
