GNV TSA Pre✓® MOBILE RV ENROLLMENT EVENT EXTENDED BY ONE WEEK
Save the Date: The IdentoGo TSA Pre✓® Mobile RV returns to the Gainesville Regional Airport for four weeks from Monday, Sept. 23 – Friday, Oct. 18, 2019
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Aug. 20, 2019— Due to high demand, the popular IdentoGo TSA Pre✓® Mobile RV event at Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) will be extended one additional week. The event will now run from Monday, Sept. 23 – Friday, Oct. 18, 2019. The Mobile Enrollment Center will be located on the airport property at 3880 NE 39th Ave., Gainesville, Fla., 32609 on the East end of the terminal.
Following the Aug. 14 announcement of the event, IdentoGo reported a high demand for appointments, with the first two days of the event completely selling out. The company contacted GNV to request an extra week at the North Central Florida Airport.
IdentoGo offers 12 appointments per hour and reported today there are approximately 500 appointments remaining for the GNV event. The company reminds applicants that appointments are limited and are available on a first come, first serve basis, so register as soon as possible. Please note this event is for TSA Pre✓® only, not Global Entry.
A similar event took place for just one week in April 2019, allowing 640 new GNV passengers to easily enroll in the popular expedited screening program without having to drive to Jacksonville, Orlando or Tampa. To accommodate increased passenger traffic, GNV added a second screening lane in May 2018 and added TSA Pre✓® in October 2018. TSA Pre✓® is now available for all flights at GNV.
TSA Pe✓® enables identified low-risk air travelers to enjoy a smart and efficient screening experience. For TSA Pre✓® travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear or belts. Today, TSA Pre✓® has more than 450 lanes at 200+ U.S. airports.
The TSA Pre✓® application program allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to directly apply for TSA Pre✓®. Once approved, travelers will receive a “Known Traveler Number” (which can be added to a travelers airline profile and reservations) and will have the opportunity to utilize TSA Pre✓® lanes at select security checkpoints when flying on over 70 carriers that currently participate in TSA Pre✓® .
