“A little lifehack is that we just went to Staples and got TSA PreCheck,” she said. According to Mackenzie and her partner, the entire process took about three minutes.
“We went in, they took our fingerprints, took a mug shot, we confirmed our address, typed in our social security number, and we were out of there,” she added. “If you’re looking to get TSA and you’re like, ‘I don’t want to go to the airport,’ all you need to do is go to your local Staples and get that TSA Pre. It’s $85 and lasts for five years.”
It really is as easy as she makes it sound.
Start by searching for a participating Staples store near you by typing your zip code here.
Next, head to the government website to begin enrollment. When setting up an appointment on the government website, be sure to look for “located inside Staples” to confirm you are selecting your desired store location.
You likely don’t even need to worry about bringing a passport photo with you as more than 1,000 Staples stores across the U.S. now offer same-day passport photo services. Find a participating store here.
If, for some reason, your local Staples isn’t offering the service, there are still more than 500 enrollment centers around the nation that can help. Consequently, you’ll breeze through security as according to the TSA, 91% of TSA PreCheck passengers waited less than 5 minutes, and you’ll never have to take off your shoes, belt, jacket, or take out your laptop at participating airports ever again.
