Yes. Members will keep the same KTN during the renewal process.

Yes, your TSA PreCheck Known Traveler Number (KTN) stays the same when you renew.

Your KTN is a unique, permanent identifier assigned to you for life. You will use the same number for all future renewals and throughout your membership, even if you switch providers (e.g., from Telos to IDEMIA, the companies that manage the enrollment).

Key Points for Renewal:

1. Start Early: You can renew up to 6 months before your expiration date. TSA recommends renewing at least 60 days in advance to avoid a lapse in benefits.
2. Renewal Process: The renewal application is done online. Often, you can renew without needing another in-person interview. However, if your renewal application requires additional information, you may be directed to schedule a quick appointment.
3. Keep Using the Same Number: Continue to book flights using your existing KTN. After your renewal is approved, the status connected to that number is simply updated in the system. There’s no need to change anything in your airline profiles.
4. Check Status: You can check your membership status and expiration date anytime on the TSA website using your KTN.

In short: Don’t wait for a new number. Use your current KTN to renew, and keep using that same number on all your flight reservations.
