Travelers need only to make an appointment online, and complete their enrollment in-person or as a walk-in.
The pop-up is a specially marked RV/Truck that will be parked in the AAA office parking lot at 197 E. Dekalb Pike in King of Prussia.
The mobile truck is equipped with steps and is not wheelchair accessible.
If needed, check the website to determine the nearest permanent location that is ADA compliant.
To participate in this enrollment opportunity, travelers should make an appointment and pre-enroll online.
It typically only takes 10 minutes to pre-enroll. After completing the pre-enrollment steps, applicants type in the location “KING OF PRUSSIA, PA” and click on the search button to select the enrollment site for “Truck Pop-Up: AAA King of Prussia."
Applicants can select an appointment time using the drop-down menu to choose a date and time.
The drop-down menu will show the first available time available, but individuals can choose a different date and/or time using that drop-down menu.
Applicants must bring documentation proving identity and citizenship status. Visit the Universal Enroll website for a list of required documents to prove identity and citizenship.
The application fee is $78 and is good for five years.
It must be paid at the time of your appointment by credit card, money order, company check, or certified/cashier’s check.
Cash and personal checks are not accepted.
Fingerprints and a photograph also are required during the in-person enrollment session.
After completing enrollment, successful applicants will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN) via U.S. mail within about 10 days that is valid for five years.
Many individuals are approved several days after completing the in-person appointment, so you are encouraged to check your status online.
The enrollee should enter the provided KTN in the “Known Traveler Number” field when booking airline reservations.
The KTN can be added when booking reservations online on a participating airline website, via a call to the airline reservation center, or with the travel management company making reservations.
Additionally, the KTN can be entered in participating airline frequent flyer profiles, where it will be stored for future reservations.
When submitting an application to enroll in TSA PreCheck, it is important to make sure that the website where you start the enrollment process ends with .gov.
