TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID now available at MIA
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in partnership with Miami International Airport (MIA) and participating airlines, is proud to announce the availability of TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID at Miami International Airport’s concourses D, E, and H. This cutting-edge biometric technology enables eligible TSA PreCheck members to experience a faster, more seamless identity verification process without presenting a physical ID or boarding pass at the security checkpoint.
TSA’s launch of PreCheck Touchless ID at three of MIA’s busiest checkpoints is the latest state-of-the-art initiative that is streamlining and simplifying the travel experience for our customers. TSA PreCheck Touchless ID at MIA follows the full modernization of TSA Checkpoint 2 just three months ago, with the newest bag screening and bin return technology in the industry designed to be 30% faster than the traditional checkpoint lane. These customer service enhancements and other recent modernizations are coming just in time for the busy spring travel season, making the travel journey at MIA more seamless than ever before.
TSA PreCheck Touchless ID uses advanced facial comparison technology to verify a traveler’s identity in seconds. Passengers simply look into a camera at a dedicated lane, where their live photo is securely matched against their stored passport. This touchless process enhances security while providing a more efficient and convenient screening experience for enrolled travelers.
TSA PreCheck Touchless ID to MIA marks another step forward in modernizing airport security and improving the passenger journey. We are excited to offer this cutting-edge option to our travelers, reducing wait times and streamlining security screening.
The feature is available to current TSA PreCheck members flying with the following participating airlines at these MIA concourses:
- Concourse D (Checkpoint 1): American Airlines
- Concourse E (Checkpoint 5): American Airlines and Alaska Airlines
- Concourse H (Checkpoint 8): Delta Air Lines and United Airlines
To use TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, eligible passengers must opt in through their airline’s app or profile (where supported) and ensure their TSA PreCheck Known Traveler Number and valid passport information are on file. A TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the mobile boarding pass for qualifying flights.
Travelers are reminded to carry a physical ID as a backup, as requested by TSA officers when necessary. Enrollment in TSA PreCheck is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents via tsa.gov/precheck.
