TSA Pre✓® Mobile RV Enrollment Event Returns Again to Gainesville Regional Airport

GAINESVILLE — The popular IdentoGo TSA Pre✓® Mobile RV event is returning again to Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV). The event will run from Monday, July 27 – Friday, Aug. 14, 2020. The Mobile Enrollment Center will be located on the airport property at 3880 N.E. 39^_th Ave., Gainesville, Fla., 32609, at the east end of the terminal. In addition to TSA Pre✓® , qualified individuals may register for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC®.

IdentoGo, the company that manages the event, offers 12 appointments per hour. Applicants should note that appointments are limited and are available on a first come, first serve basis, so register as soon as possible. Health and safety measures practiced in the Mobile Enrollment RV include social distancing, no more than four customers permitted at one time, wearing a face covering and social distancing.  Please note this event is for TSA Pre✓® only, not Global Entry.

GNV has hosted four previous enrollment events, allowing thousands of people to easily enroll in the popular expedited screening program without having to drive to Jacksonville, Orlando or Tampa. To accommodate increased passenger traffic, GNV added a second screening lane in May 2018 and added TSA Pre✓® in October 2018. TSA Pre✓® is now available for all flights at GNV.

TSA Pre✓® enables identified low-risk air travelers to enjoy a smart and efficient screening experience. For TSA Pre✓® travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear or belts. Today, TSA Pre✓® has more than 450 lanes at 200+ U.S. airports.

The TSA Pre✓® application program allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to directly apply for TSA Pre✓®. Once approved, travelers will receive a “Known Traveler Number” (which can be added to a travelers airline profile and reservations) and will have the opportunity to utilize TSA Pre✓® lanes at select security checkpoints when flying on over 70 carriers that currently participate in TSA Pre✓®.

 TWIC ® is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities and vessels. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential. U.S. citizens and immigrants in certain immigration categories may apply for the credential. Most mariners licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard also require a credential.
