Telos Corporation Expands TSA PreCheck Enrollment Locations
Telos Corporation has made notable strides in enhancing the TSA PreCheck® enrollment process, now featuring in-store registration at Office Depot and OfficeMax retail outlets. This development aims to streamline the enrollment and renewal process, making it more efficient for travelers.
Milestone Achievement in Enrollment Locations
On October 28, 2025, Telos Corporation (NASDAQ: TLS), a recognized provider of TSA PreCheck® enrollment services, announced that it has exceeded 500 enrollment locations throughout the United States. This achievement marks a pivotal moment for the company, reinforcing its commitment to improving access to TSA PreCheck for travelers nationwide. “TSA PreCheck alleviates the hassles associated with air travel, and enrolling in this trusted traveler program should be just as hassle-free,” remarked John B. Wood, the chairman and CEO of Telos. “With over 500 enrollment sites—many situated within Office Depot® and OfficeMax® stores—Telos is making it simpler than ever for travelers to apply or renew their TSA PreCheck status within their local communities.”
Simple Enrollment Process for Travelers
Telos simplifies the TSA PreCheck application process for travelers. Individuals can start their application or renewal online at the designated Telos website. They can then locate one of the more than 500 enrollment centers across the country, which includes participating Office Depot and OfficeMax locations. During their in-person visit, travelers need to present identification and proof of citizenship. Most appointments are quick, typically taking just a few minutes, and many applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) within 3-5 days, although some applications may require additional processing time.
Advantages of TSA PreCheck Membership
Members of TSA PreCheck benefit from significantly shorter wait times and a more streamlined airport experience, as 99% of them wait less than 10 minutes at security checkpoints. Additionally, teens aged 13 to 17 can accompany enrolled parents or guardians when the TSA PreCheck indicator appears on their boarding pass, while children aged 12 and under can always join an enrolled parent or guardian in the expedited lanes.
Nationwide Expansion of Enrollment Access
With a total of 502 enrollment sites and plans for further growth, Telos is dedicated to increasing the availability of TSA PreCheck to address the needs of travelers. The company is actively working on opening more locations in the coming months, thereby enhancing access to this trusted traveler program for more communities across the nation.
Understanding TSA PreCheck®
TSA PreCheck is a Trusted Traveler program managed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that facilitates expedited screening for enrolled passengers at airport security. TSA PreCheck lanes are available at over 200 airports and involve participation from more than 90 airlines. Since its inception in December 2013, when TSA launched the application program for low-risk travelers, membership has surged to over 23 million active participants.
