TSA PreCheck Application Center Comes To Fredericksburg This Week

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — A mobile TSA Precheck Application Center will be in Fredericksburg this week. The purple TSA RV will be in the parking lot of the AAA office on Plank Road.

TSA Precheck allows travelers to skip certain security requirements at airports across the country. Travelers with TSA Precheck don't have to remove their shoes, take off their belts, or pull their laptops or compliant liquids out of their bags.

Interested travelers can pre-enroll and make an appointment for the mobile application center online. The application center will also take some walk-ins, officials said.

The application center will be open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday through Thursday. The center will also be open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday.

The pre-enrollment steps take about 10 minutes and can be completed online, TSA officials said. Then, travelers can select the Fredericksburg pop-up truck from the drop-down menu and pick a time. Applicants have to bring documents that confirm their identity and citizenship status.

An $85 application fee is due at the appointment. TSA PreCheck membership lasts for five years.

Normally, the closest application center is in Woodbridge, more than 30 miles away from Fredericksburg.
