Why is PreCheck not showing?

Re: No TSA Precheck on Boarding Pass Verify your PreCheck is not expired, you need to renew it every 5 years. Verify the name on the reservation matches your PreCheck name exactly, including middle name. PreCheck is never guaranteed. TSA may not always issue the PreCheck authorization.
