TSA PreCheck and Global Entry are both very popular programs that can help you breeze through airport security checkpoints. You might have even heard of Mobile Passport or CLEAR — but have you heard of a Redress Number?
While a Redress Number won’t be necessary for the vast majority of travelers, it can be necessary to remove some of the stress of airport security for a select few.
Let’s take a look at all the things you need to know about the program so you can decide if it would be useful to you.
What Is a Redress Number?
A Redress Control Number, more commonly known as a Redress Number, is actually a case number. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) matches travelers to their case number via the Secure Flight program.
Occasionally, TSA’s Secure Flight program will misidentify travelers as a possible risk, which leads to additional security checks. If your name and information match that of another person who is on a watchlist, you might be misidentified.
A Redress Number can help prevent this from happening.
When Should You Get a Redress Number?
If you regularly have trouble getting through TSA security checkpoints or returning to the United States through Customs and Border Protection checkpoints, you should consider applying for a Redress Number.
While Global Entry and TSA PreCheck are great tools for travelers, they won’t prevent these inconveniences if your name is identified by Secure Flight for secondary screening measures.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suggests a number of reasons why you should use the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP):
If you face any of these scenarios, you might consider applying for a Redress Number through the Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP). Image Credit: USCBP
The scenarios you might face when flying include:
Additionally, at ports of entry, immigration, customs, or border patrol, you might run into issues such as:
Fortunately, most travelers will not face these issues regularly, if at all. However, for those that do, a Redress Number could help provide a smoother travel experience.
Applying for a Redress Number
If you’ve decided that you might need a Redress Number, you can apply online or with a paper application.
Submitting an online application will be processed faster than an emailed or mailed application. If you plan to email or mail it, you must sign the document first. You can email the applications to [email protected] or mail it to:
DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP)
601 South 12th Street, TSA-901
Arlington, VA 20598-6901
It can take more than a month for DHS TRIP to process your application, so don’t hesitate to apply. DHS TRIP will notify you via email once they have received your application. This email will include your Redress Number in the subject line. Once a decision has been made, you will receive a letter in the mail.
Now, let’s go through the steps to apply. We’ll be using the paper application in this example, but you will need to provide the same information for the online application.
Step 1: Your Travel Experience
The first step of the application is to select the scenarios that you have experienced during your travels. While you don’t have to provide specific flight details of the incident(s) (including dates, airport, airline, and flight number), it does help DHS TRIP process your request.
You are required to select each scenario that you have experienced.
Step 2: Incidents Related to Privacy
If you felt that your privacy was violated by an official or agent who exposed or inappropriately shared your personal information, this is the section to note that. If this is the case, you won’t need to provide more than your name.
Step 3: Incident Details
In Step 3, you’ll need to explain any of the flight or privacy incidents for which you checked a box in Step 1 and Step 2. This section is required for DHS to review your application for a Redress Number.
Step 4: Personal Information
Step 4 is where you will provide all of your personal information including full name, birthdate, birthplace, and gender. You’ll also need to share your height, weight, hair color, eye color, and whether you’re a U.S. person (legal permanent resident or U.S. citizen).
Step 5: Contact Information
The contact information you need to provide is pretty simple. Just provide your mailing address and physical address (if different). You can also provide your email address, but this is optional. Providing your email address will make communication quicker if you choose to mail the application.
Step 6: Attorney/Representative Information (Required if Applicable)
If you have an attorney or representative helping you with the DHS TRIP application, you can provide their name and contact information in Step 6. You will also need to authorize the release of information to this person. You can do this by completing the DHS Form 590 Authorization To Release Information To Another Person.
Step 7: Identity Documentation
If you have a passport (unexpired), you can provide a copy of it in Step 7. Other eligible documents (with a photo) for the application include:
DHS TRIP specifically mentions that you should NOT provide copies of Social Security cards, tax information, or personal financial documents.
Step 8: Acknowledgement
If emailing or mailing your application, you will need to sign and date the application before sending; otherwise, your application cannot be processed.
Using Your Redress Number
Similar to how you use your Known Traveler Number for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, you can save your Redress Number to your frequent flyer accounts or add it your individual bookings
Unlike Global Entry and TSA PreCheck, using your Redress Number does not guarantee that you’ll be able to enjoy expedited security. However, you’ll at least be more likely to avoid getting SSSS on your boarding pass and being required to go through secondary screening.
Final Thoughts
Airport security is a hassle for everyone, but getting pulled for additional screening almost every time you travel can be a real inconvenience. While Global Entry and TSA PreCheck are fantastic tools to make the experience quicker, they won’t be able to help you if you repeatedly get the dreaded SSSS or are denied boarding.
If you regularly experience problems like those discussed above, applying for a Redress Number might be the right move for you. It doesn’t guarantee a quick security experience, but it certainly increases your chances.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between a Redress Number and a Known Traveler Number?
A Redress Number can help prevent you from being misidentified by the TSA’s Secure Flight program (which can lead to secondary screening, delayed boarding, or even denied boarding).
A Known Traveler Number (KTN) is your membership number (or PASSID) with a Trusted Program such as Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI or TSA PreCheck.

None of this helps if you’re on the Selectee list.
The idea behind applying for a redress number is to deal with being on the selectee list. If you’re on the list for a specific reason though, it of course won’t help 🙂 If it’s a mixup, the redress number app is your chance to fix it. It’s not a guarantee though.
If I have a DHS Control Number do I need any other form of visa in addition to visit the USA
A DHS Control Number does not mean you can visit the USA anytime you want. It simply means that you’ve been identified as a person who, in their opinion, has been subject to extra security screening unnecessarily. You still need any visas or documents for visiting any countries you decide on.
A VISA allows you to enter the countries,any country of your eligibility.
TSA Precheck allows you to go thru security check point easier and faster.
So, there are 2 different purpose you can’t mix it up or combined them.
What is the selectee list and is there a way to find out if you’re on it?
Thanks for the question, Cal. A selectee list is generated for individual flights based on FBI/TSA lists of suspected terrorists, unusual travel patterns, and randomly selected individuals. Those individuals are subjected to additional screening prior to boarding. You don’t have to be on a terrorist watch list to experience this extra screening so you won’t know if you’re on the selectee list in advance. If you often experience being a selectee, you should apply for a redress number.
I have filled in and submitted the form online. It then says to send a signed copy of the completed form which I don’t have as I have submitted it online. What do I do here?
Thanks for the intensive guide! I’ve filed mine too. Question though – if my DHS TRIP is still open (or case isn’t closed on the site), can I use the Redress number when booking flights? Or shall I wait until the case is closed?
Hi Tom, I honestly don’t know for sure but I would personally wait until the case is closed.
I am US person (Green Card Holder) and have traveled internationally quite a bit, going to Canada and Europe and never had any issues re-entering the country until recently.
During the past two international trips, when returning to the country, I was admitted immediately, however, was sent to have my baggage X-rayed. The CBP officer did not return my passport but rather put it in a green folder and handed over to another officer whom I followed. It needs to be mentioned that in both cases I failed to present a filled CBP declaration form for my baggage.
Should I apply for redress? It needs to be mentioned that I am an Iranian citizen (Having an Iranian Passport).
Hi Arad – was there a reason why you couldn’t fill in the CBP declaration form?
Not helpful. I’m unable to find out how to get an online application.
Hi Perry. Here is a link with more information and access to the form you need for a Redress Number. https://trip.dhs.gov/
Does anyone know how to use a DHS redress control number when border crossing (driving in from Canada or Mexico) and ports of entry–like cruises?
Hello! If you have had multiple issues when crossing the border, you can choose to hand over your redress number at the same time you are supplying your passport/other identification.
Many people choose to wait and see if they were first flagged by an agent for additional screening and then provide their redress information.
Either way, your redress number should help you greatly expedite this process. Hope this helps!
My cousin has several misdemeanor arrests that are now close to 44 years old. He has had no problems for decades. He always gets TSA PreCheck from the airlines when traveling domestically.
Last month, he took his first international trip with no problems on the way out. Upon arrival to the US, after the CPB officer scanned his passport, he was taken in for secondary screening. He said the CPB officer could not have been nicer, but did ask him if he was arrested in the 70’s to which he replied “yes”. After asking him if he had a nice trip, the CPB officer stamped his passport and told him to have a nice day.
Still, he was embarrassed and caught by surprise.
Would a redress number prevent him for having this type of thing happen again, and will he be eligible for a redress number with 44 year old misdemeanors? Any input is appreciated.
Hi John, thanks for reading! To start, anyone can apply for a redress number. Sometimes additional screenings are completely random. Usually getting a redress number is something travelers do who have had multiple instances where they have been referred for additional screening or have issues getting through TSA.
Since it’s free though, we certainly recommend your cousin documenting his experience and requesting a redress number! Check the details on how to do this in the article above. I will say that it doesn’t completely eliminate the chance that this will happen in the future, but it definitely increases the odds that it won’t.
I was arrested at seventeen for possession of two grams of cannibis. On my last two trips to the states I was questioned regarding this. I had my court date five days after my 18 birthday. Iam now 53 years old. On both occasions I was found to be admissible. But I know it’s just a matter of time before I come before a not so understanding border officer. I do not want to spend the money required for a waiver. Are there any other options for someone in my situation. I have my court records which clearly state I was seventeen upon arrest.
Hi John, having a redress number can definitely help you with TSA checkpoints or returning to the United States through Customs and Border Protection checkpoints.
That being said, we’re absolutely not the experts when it comes to situations like the one you’re in. We would suggest contacting the Department of Homeland Security directly via their email address: [email protected] to figure out if a redress number will work for you.
Does anyone know if I need to provide every single detail of an incident? The example is that I was refused entry and I was clearly was told it was because I couldn’t prove that I will come back to Canada. Do I still need to give all the detail of why they thought that etc? Don’t they already have a report on that already?
Which way would be better for me, to make it simple and just refer to the incident and refusal date or provide detail?
Hi Lulu. I would recommend providing all of the information you know. For example, it sounds like you know the location and date that were refused entry along with the reason you were given. It doesn’t sound like you know why they thought that unless they provided you more information than you included in your comment above.
We would suggest contacting the Department of Homeland Security directly via their email address: [email protected] to get the most accurate information.
Hi,
I’ve requested a redress number a couple of days ago. Didn’t hear anything yet, but I just received an email saying that there is an update to my Esta. When I went online to check it now states Pending. I requested the ESTA in August 2019 and already used it once to travel to the US.
Any one knows what is happening or had the same problem. I’m a Dutch Citizen.
Thanks.
I was denied boarding the flight from Belgrade to New York. I have a tourist visa. I was advised by the airport authority to file a DHS TRIP form. I did that and got the Redress number from them and was asked to submit the signed form and a copy of my passport through email. As it is mentioned on the site we can check the status of our application. First, it was PENDING and after 3 days, it shows IN PROCESS. My question is can I travel to the USA without the case being closed?
I am not certain if that would be allowed. I would advise that you contact the DHS to see if you would be permitted to travel.
Get well soon, I experienced the same thing you experienced in August in Belgrade. I filled out the form and sent it to Dhs Trip. But the answer I received was that they could not reply before 3 months due to the intensity. I have work to do, I’m in a hurry. what did you do? were you able to find a solution? I would be glad if you share your information. Thanks.
APIS (Advanced Passenger Information) — система требований иммиграционных законов США. Авиакомпании обязаны предоставить данные о Пассажирах в Министерство нац безопасности США до совершения перелета. APIS требует данные о местопребывании граждан на территории страны, имена, фамилии, номера документов.
ESTA — Электронная система авторизации путешествий. Для граждан стран-участников безвизового режима Visa Waiver Program (VWP) существует система обязательной электронной регистрации. Пассажир, летящий в США в рамках безвизового режима, должен самостоятельно зарегистрироваться в Электронной системе авторизации путешествий (ESTA) на сайте CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection): Данное разрешение оформляется только онлайн. Разрешение ESTA действительно для многократного въезда в США. В некоторых случаях, в дополнение к разрешению ESTA, на борту самолета необходимо заполнить форму I-94W.
Зачем для авиабилета нужны личные данные Пассажира
В соответствии с международными правилами продажи авиабилетов, ответственность за сбор информации, необходимой авиакомпаниям о Пассажире, возлагается на агентства по продаже авиабилетов.
По требованиям IATA, Администрации Транспортной Безопасности (TSA) и программы безопасности полетов (Secure Flight), в зависимости от направления перелета, авиакомпании обязаны передать властям соответствующих стран данные Пассажиров. В связи с этим вынуждено запрашивать у Пассажиров дополнительную информацию, без которой оформление билетов в авиакомпании может быть затруднено или невозможно
Личные данные Пассажира могут понадобиться для:
Пассажиры обязаны предоставить достоверную информацию о себе: впоследствии она потребуется при прохождении визового и таможенного контроля, при выезде/въезде/транзите. Пассажир уполномочивает перевозчика сохранять свои личные данные и при необходимости передавать их с указанной выше целью своим служащим и агентам, а также другим перевозчикам либо поставщикам дополнительных услуг, государственным органам, независимо от страны их расположения.
Необходимый минимум личных данных Пассажира указывается на странице «Бронирование перелета». Информация, достаточная для стандартного бронирования авиабилета на большинство направлений (вносится Покупателем при создании заказа):
Информация размещенная в данном разделе определяет порядок внесения паспортно-визовых данных пассажира в бронирование и перевозочный документ (билет) в соответствии с Приказом Министерства Транспорта от 19.07.2012 № 243 «Об утверждении Порядка формирования и ведения автоматизированных централизованных баз персональных данных о пассажирах, а также предоставления содержащихся в них данных».
В бронирование и перевозочный документ должны быть внесены паспортные данные пассажира, а именно: фамилия и имя пассажира, дата рождения, вид и номер документа, удостоверяющего личность, на основании которого приобретается проездной документ (билет).
При оформлении билетов по маршрутам, содержащим международные рейсы, пассажир должен предъявить действительный документ удостоверяющий личность, действующий на территории иностранного государства.
При оформлении перевозки в страны, требующие дополнительной информации о пассажире API (Advanced Passenger Information), а именно США, Канада, Германия, в бронирование не позднее 24 часов до вылета рейса должны быть внесены в обязательном порядке информация о паспорте, визе и месте рождения, и информация об адресе проживания в стране пребывания.
Предъявляемые документы должны быть действительны на дату первоначального вылета по первому сегменту и в течение всего срока пребывания пассажира в иностранном государстве. Ответственность за предоставление перевозчику своевременной, полной и достоверной информации о пассажире лежит на Агенте, оформившем перевозку..
Персональные данные в бронирование должны быть внесены в строгом соответствии с форматом DOCS и FOID для каждого пассажира.
Элемент DOCS вносится для каждого пассажира (включая детей до 2-х лет, не занимающих отдельное место) и содержит следующие данные:
В системах бронирования паспортные данные вносятся форматами, соответствующими требованиям дистрибутивной системы.
При внесении в бронирование документа пассажира, с неограниченным сроком действия, в поле «дата окончания срока действия» должен быть указан будущий период, т.е. дата после окончания перелета.
Указание в запросе пустых полей в виде // запрещено!
При оформлении перевозки с участием интерлайн-партнеров информация о паспортных данных пассажира SSR: DOCS вносится по каждому пассажиру (включая детей до 2-х лет, не занимающих отдельное место) и для каждого перевозчика, участвующего в перевозке.
Для отображения номера документа в электронном билете и маршрутной квитанции пассажира, при работе в бронирование дополнительно вводится элемент SSR: с кодом услуги FOID.
Информация о визе и месте рождения пассажира SSR:DOCO вносится в следующих случаях:
Формат запроса содержит в себе данные: DOCO – код ввода информации;
В системах бронирования данные о визе вносятся форматами, соответствующими требованиям дистрибутивной системы
Так как получение визы возможно после оформления билета, информация SSR:DOCO может быть внесена Агентом после оформления билета, но не позднее 24 часов до вылета рейса. Для контроля таких пассажиров Агент может использовать элемент OP для вызова PNR в очередь своего агентства:
Для лиц с двойным гражданством, видом на жительство и т.п. при въезде в страну, гражданином которой он является или на территории которой проживает, информация о визе SSR:DOCO не вводится. Информация о документе SSR:DOCS, который дает право въезда в страну без визы вводится на каждый соответствующий сегмент, например для вида на жительство:
Агенту необходимо предупредить пассажира о необходимости иметь при себе все документы дающие право въезда на территории стран, указанных в билете.
Важно! При изменении условий перевозки, необходимо повторно внести элемент SSR:DOCS в бронирование на измененном сегменте.
Если второй документ бессрочный, то в поле дата окончания действия документа указывается по сроку действия загранпаспорта.
Информация об адресе временного пребывания в стране назначения SSR: DOCA вносится в следующих случаях:
При оформлении пассажиров на рейсы, вылетающие в США, которые не проживают постоянно на территории США, необходимо вносить два параметра DOCA: адрес временного пребывания на территории США и страну постоянного проживания. Формат команды внесения информации о стране проживания пассажира, следует вносить в систему всем пассажирам:
При оформлении пассажиров граждан США на рейсы, вылетающие в США, необходимо вносить элемент DOCA с указанием адреса постоянного проживания.
В системах бронирования данные об адресе DOCA проживания вносятся форматами, соответствующими требованиям дистрибутивной системы и должны содержать следующие данные:
Направления, ГДЕ требуются дополнительные данные пассажира
Для прямых рейсов в/из США, Китай, Германию
Для прямых рейсов в/из США, Китай, Германию — после бронирования перелета Служба поддержки присылает Покупателю запрос о данных, которые требует авиакомпания для внесения в бронирование. Пассажиры, направляющиеся в Тибет (Китай) — кроме визы, должны иметь разрешение на въезд в регион, заранее полученное в Посольстве КНР.
Для транзитных рейсов
Обратите внимание, даже для транзитных рейсов через некоторые страны (США, Канаду, Австралию, Китай, Норвегию, Германию, Италию и другие страны) у Пассажира должна быть транзитная (или другая) виза этой страны. Подробную информацию Пассажир может уточнить в визовых центрах соответствующих стран.
Если запрашиваемая информация неизвестна Пассажиру до перелета, оформление билетов в авиакомпании, успешное прохождение регистрации и паспортного контроля при посадке в самолет, может быть затруднено или невозможно Соединенные Штаты Америки (США)
Для перелетов в/из/через США, по требованиям программы Безопасности полетов (Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) и Системы Предоставления Расширенной Информации о Пассажирах (Advance Passenger Information System (APIS), с 18 октября 2010 года Пассажир обязан сообщить продавцу авиабилетов:
