Introduction
A Known Traveler Number (KTN) is a nine-digit identification number assigned to a traveler by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This number allows travelers to access expedited security screening at airports. If you’ve enrolled in a TSA Precheck program, then you have a KTN.
In this article, we’ll explore how to find your KTN. We’ll discuss checking your airline account, contacting the airline, looking at your TSA Precheck confirmation email, checking your passport, and calling the TSA.
Check Your Airline Account
If you’ve enrolled in a TSA Precheck program, then your KTN may be stored in your airline account. The exact process for finding it varies based on the airline. Here are instructions for three of the major US carriers: American Airlines, Delta, and United.
American Airlines
To find your KTN in your American Airlines account, log in and select “Account” from the top menu. Then, click on “Security & Privacy” in the left sidebar. Scroll down until you see “Known Traveler Number.” If your KTN is stored in your account, it will be listed here.
Delta
To find your KTN in your Delta account, log in and select “My Profile” from the top menu. Then, click on “TSA Precheck” in the left sidebar. Your KTN should be displayed here.
United
To find your KTN in your United account, log in and select “Profile” from the top menu. Then, click on “TSA Precheck” in the left sidebar. Your KTN should be displayed here.
Contact the Airline
If your KTN isn’t stored in your airline account, you may need to contact the airline directly. You can usually reach customer service via phone or email. Depending on the airline, there may also be a live chat option.
Look at Your TSA Precheck Confirmation Email
If you’ve recently enrolled in a TSA Precheck program, then you should have received a confirmation email. The email will include your KTN. Be sure to double check that the email is from an official TSA source before entering any personal information.
Check Your Passport
Your KTN may also be printed on your passport. Look for a small sticker on the back cover of your passport. It should include your name, passport number, and KTN.
Call the TSA
If you still can’t find your KTN, you can call the TSA directly. The TSA’s contact information is as follows:
- Phone: 855-347-8371
- Email: [email protected]
Conclusion
Finding your Known Traveler Number can be a simple process if you know where to look. Start by checking your airline account, contacting the airline, looking at your TSA Precheck confirmation email, checking your passport, and calling the TSA if necessary.
