IDEMIA Expands TSA PreCheck Enrollment Benefits for Military

As summer travel heats up and the United States readies to commemorate its Independence Day, IDEMIA Public Security is stepping up its commitment to the military community by enhancing access to TSA PreCheck® enrollment. This comes at a crucial time as travelers across the nation seek efficient security processes amidst the busy travel season.

Since becoming an authorized enrollment provider for TSA PreCheck® in 2013, IDEMIA has played a pivotal role in improving travel experiences for active service members, disabled veterans, and their families. This initiative, particularly relevant during peak travel periods, aims to recognize the sacrifices made by those who serve the nation. Key benefits include:

• - A $25 discount on TSA PreCheck enrollment and renewals for military spouses.
• - Free enrollment and renewal for families of military survivors.
• - Cost-free enrollment for qualifying disabled veterans under the Veterans Expedited TSA Screening (VETS) Safe Travel Act.

Lisa Shoemaker, a spokesperson from IDEMIA Public Security, emphasized their mission, stating, "Supporting those who serve and the freedoms we celebrate is central to our mission. From enabling secure, efficient travel experiences to investing in veteran career pathways, we are committed to delivering solutions and opportunities that honor the service and sacrifice of our military community."

This expansion comes as part of the TSA’s broader initiative named "Serve with Honor, Travel with Ease," designed to facilitate expedited screening for military personnel, especially during high-traffic times like the Fourth of July celebrations. By recognizing the unique needs of the military community, IDEMIA hopes to make travel easier and stress-free for service members.

Beyond just improving travel experiences, IDEMIA Public Security actively invests in its workforce. The company has established a Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG), which fosters an inclusive workplace for employees who are veterans. This group supports recruitment, professional development, resources access, and engagement opportunities. Additionally, IDEMIA actively participates in the U.S. Department of War SkillBridge Program, which assists active-duty service members transitioning to civilian careers by providing valuable insights and experiences in their final months of service.

To ensure that TSA PreCheck® remains accessible, IDEMIA has developed a robust network of nearly 500 enrollment centers across the United States. This strategic placement helps facilitate efficient traveler movement through security checkpoints during both peak and off-peak travel seasons, providing service members and their families with smooth transition experiences.

Travelers can benefit from the TSA PreCheck® program by enrolling at IDEMIA's various enrollment centers or at community pop-up events.
