IDEMIA Public Security Partners with TSA for Military Spouse PreCheck Discounts

IDEMIA's New TSA PreCheck Initiative for Military Spouses

In a significant move to support military personnel and their families, IDEMIA Public Security North America has joined forces with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to offer a $25 discount on TSA PreCheck enrollments and renewals for military spouses. This initiative is part of the TSA's broader campaign titled "Serve with Honor, Travel with Ease," aimed at easing the travel experience for service members and their loved ones, especially as summer travel volumes hit record highs.

Military members already benefit from free TSA PreCheck enrollments as part of their service. With this new offering, military spouses can now access TSA PreCheck for only $51.75, while Gold Star families, who have lost a service member, can enroll at no cost. This discount not only recognizes the sacrifices made by military families but also streamlines their travel experiences.

TSA PreCheck allows travelers to enjoy expedited screening, ensuring they do not have to remove shoes, belts, light jackets, and can keep their liquids and laptops in their bags during security checks. Moreover, kids under 18 can accompany enrolled adults in the TSA PreCheck lanes if they are on the same reservation, making family travel much easier and more convenient.

TSA Acting Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill emphasized the agency's commitment to supporting the military community through this new program, highlighting the importance of honoring those who serve and their families. By making TSA PreCheck more accessible, the TSA and IDEMIA aim to reduce stress for military families already facing numerous challenges.

IDEMIA is a long-standing enrollment provider for TSA PreCheck and has processed over 24 million enrollments since it began its partnership in 2013. With an extensive network of more than 500 enrollment centers nationwide—located at IdentGo locations, select airports, and local businesses—IDEMIA provides various options for travelers looking to enroll. This initiative also includes pop-up enrollment events that aim to increase accessibility for military families and all travelers.

Patrick Clancey, CEO of IDEMIA National Security Solutions and an advocate for the Veteran Employee Resource Group, expressed pride in the company's ongoing support for the military community. He noted that this initiative acknowledges the everyday sacrifices made by military families and aims to alleviate at least one burden when it comes to traveling. The simplicity of the TSA PreCheck enrollment directly correlates with improved travel experiences, as each moment spent with family is invaluable.

Furthermore, IDEMIA's commitment to service members extends beyond just travel conveniences. They actively participate in the Department of Defense Skillbridge Program, which provides active-duty personnel transitioning into civilian roles with valuable hands-on experiences. This program showcases IDEMIA’s dedication to not only enhancing the travel experience for military families but also supporting their overall career transitions.

Traveling in today’s world can be fraught with challenges, especially during peak travel periods. The launch of this $25 discount for military spouses and the free enrollments for Gold Star families represent an important step in recognizing the needs of those who have served our country. By partnering with TSA, IDEMIA is demonstrating a significant commitment to honoring military families while facilitating their journeys.

To take advantage of these benefits, military spouses and Gold Star families can enroll at any IDEMIA enrollment center or local pop-up event. Those interested in learning more about the enrollment process and additional TSA offers can visit the TSA website to access relevant resources.

In conclusion, IDEMIA Public Security’s new initiative is more than just a discount; it’s a symbol of appreciation and respect for the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families. By easing the travel process, IDEMIA and TSA are making a meaningful impact on the lives of those who serve our nation. Every moment spent together during travel is cherished, and this initiative serves to facilitate more of those moments, making travel simpler and more accessible for military families everywhere.
