TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID
Save time at security
At participating airports, use a dedicated TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID lane where a face scan verifies your identity — no need to show a physical ID.
Getting started with Touchless ID
To opt in, you must:
- Be an AAdvantage® member
- Save Known Traveler Number (KTN) in your AAdvantage® account
- Save a valid passport in your AAdvantage® account
- Opt in to participate in TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID with American Airlines
- Download the American app
How to opt in
Any time in your AAdvantage® profile:
- Log in to your AAdvantage® account
- Find the 'Information and password' section to opt in
- Save your passport and Known Traveler Number
- Scroll to 'TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID'
- Check the opt-in box and save
You can opt in during mobile check-in or in 'Ready to Fly' hub in the American app.
After opting in, you'll stay enrolled in Touchless ID for 12 months.
How to opt out
You can opt out anytime by updating your AAdvantage® account preferences. If you’ve already checked in for an eligible flight, Touchless ID will still apply for that trip.
Using Touchless ID at the airport
When you arrive at the airport:
- Check that you've opted in to TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID
- Make sure you’ve checked in for your flight through the American app
- Look for the TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID symbol on your mobile boarding pass
- Go to the TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID security lane at participating airports
You're welcome to use your physical ID at any time. Keep your mobile boarding pass ready in case you’re asked to show it before entering the lane.
The TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID symbol can be present on your boarding passes for any trip. At airports without Touchless ID, you can still use the regular TSA PreCheck® security lane.
TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID is available at select security checkpoints. Follow signs at participating airports to find the dedicated security lane.
