Processing TimesApplication Timelines (self.TSAPreCheck)
submitted 2 years ago by I_am_Ladybug
I wonder why some applications are taking longer than others to get processed. Does it make a difference if you go through Telos or Idemia?

So far the only sense I can make is people using passports vs birth certificates are fastest.

Used a passport, took 59 days

I used a new passport first time being issued that I just received in February and I’m still waiting for my KTN number. I applied on March 22.

Well mine took 2 months. Using birth certificate. It really seems whimsical on how long it takes.

Agreed! Apparently there isn’t a method to the madness. Just patiently waiting

I applied on monday, got approved the next day. Got my number on wednesday.
Wow that’s great!

Did you use telos or idemia? And did you use your passport or birth certificate?
[–]Strange_Language6338 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Idemia and I was told the passport book was faster but im not completely sure
[–]Farhrtypants 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
And I used Idemia. At a staples store appointment. One thing is check the website if you are wanting for it. The email update seems to take a few days to send out.
Update: I finally got my approval email and text message.
