Is my redress number on my Global Entry card?

Many travelers ask where to find the redress number on their Global Entry cards, however, since not all travelers are issued redress numbers they are not typically printed on the Global Entry cards themselves.



No, your Redress Number is not on your Global Entry card. The number found on the back of your card (upper left) is your PASS ID, which serves as your Known Traveler Number (KTN) for TSA PreCheck. A Redress Number is a separate, unique 7-digit identifier issued only to individuals who have successfully filed a "Traveler Inquiry" with the DHS Travel Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP) because they were repeatedly misidentified for secondary screening or "Watch List" issues. While your PASS ID is for "Trusted Travelers," your Redress Number is specifically for those who have had "Traveler Identity" issues in the past. If you have a Redress Number, you must enter it in a separate field when booking your 2026 flight reservations. Most people will never have or need a Redress Number, whereas every Global Entry member has a PASS ID/KTN.
