Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) will be hosting a TSA Pre-check event from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, March 15 – 19 in the baggage claim area.

According to a release, precheck allows participating flyers to experience a more efficient airport screening process by leaving on shoes, light jackets, and belts and leaving laptops and compliant liquids in carry-on bags.

Applicants should pre-enroll at

, and make sure to enter “Daytona Beach, FL” as the location, choosing Daytona Beach International Airport.

"While security lines at DAB are traditionally very fast—about 5 minutes-- TSA Precheck makes the process that much easier, especially for the return flight back to DAB,” said Joanne Magley, the airport’s marketing & customer experience director in a release. "As travel begins to slowly pick up now is a great time to enroll in TSA Precheck, which only takes a few minutes and significantly enhances travelers’ experience when using TSA checkpoints around the country."

During the onsite enrollment at DAB, applicants will be fingerprinted for a background check. 

The $85 application fee can be paid by credit card, money order, company check, or certified/cashier's check. Cash and personal checks are not accepted.

Due to COVID-19, applicants are required to wear face coverings inside the airport and during the appointments and adhere to social distancing guidelines.

To complete the on-site process, applicants must bring proof of identity and U.S. citizen documentation, such as a U.S. passport or a birth certificate, and a driver’s license.

Successful applicants will receive a known traveler number (KTN) via U.S. mail within 45 days that is valid for five years. The enrollee should enter the KTN in the “known traveler number” field when booking travel reservations. The KTN also can be entered in participating airline frequent flyer profiles, where it will be stored for future reservations.

More than 200 airports, including DAB, participate in the TSA Precheck program nationwide. Seventy-three airlines participate in the program, including American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
