Don't Have TSA PreCheck? This Is the Hack You Need to Know!

If you've ever thought about getting TSA PreCheck but wanted to avoid going through the hassle of making an appointment at the airport, we have some great news for you. All you need to do is go to your nearest Staples.

The little lifehack is that you can just go to Staples to get TSA PreCheck, the entire process only takes about three minutes.

You go in, have your fingerprints taken, get a photo, confirm your address, and enter your social security number. Then, you're done. If you want to get TSA PreCheck without going to the airport, you can sign up at Staples the night before and complete the process at your local Staples. It costs $85 and is valid for five years.

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.

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. This way, 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.
