Q: Are all TWIC® cardholders eligible for TSA PreCheck? A: No. Only active TWIC® cardholders who meet the TSA PreCheck Application Program’s eligibility requirements may obtain TSA PreCheck. Eligibility for TSA PreCheck Application Program membership is only open to U.S. Citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents. Active TWIC® cardholders who obtained a TWIC® via a waiver from TSA are not eligible for TSA PreCheck.
