What is the enrollment process?

The enrollment process consists of the following components: optional pre-enrollment, in-person enrollment, security threat assessment and notification of the results, and issuance of the TWIC to the applicant. Applicants may pre-enroll online to enter all of the biographic information required for the threat assessment and make an appointment at the enrollment center to complete the process (although appointments are not required). Then applicants must visit the enrollment center where they will pay the enrollment fee, complete a TWIC Application Disclosure Form, provide biographic information and a complete set of fingerprints, and sit for a digital photograph. The applicant must bring identity verification documents to enrollment and in the case of aliens, immigration documents that verify their immigration status, so that the documents can be scanned into the electronic enrollment record.

What documentation is required for a TWIC?

Applicants must provide the appropriate documents in order to verify their identity. They must provide one document from list A, or two from list B, one of which must be a government-issued photo ID:

List A
  • Unexpired passport
  • Unexpired Permanent Resident card or Unexpired Alien Registration Receipt Card with photograph
  • Unexpired foreign passport with one of the following:
    • I-551 Stamp;
    • Attached INS Form I-94 indicating unexpired employment authorization;
    • Unexpired Employment Authorization Document (I-766);
    • Unexpired Employment Authorization Card (INS-688B);
    • OR with one of the following Unexpired Visas: E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1, TN, M-1, C-1/D, B1/OCS

  • Free and Secure Trade (FAST) Card
  • Merchant Mariner Document (MMD)


List B (need two and one must be a government-issued photo ID)

  • U. S. Certificate of Citizenship (N-560, 561)
  • U. S. Certificate of Naturalization (N-550 or 570)
  • Driver's license or ID card issued by a State or outlying possession of the United States

What is the purpose of the TWIC Disclosure Form?

The TWIC Disclosure Form provides additional information to the applicant on the security threat assessment process, as well as a notice on privacy and paperwork reduction. The applicant is also required to review and certify statements pertaining to eligibility for a TWIC, military service, and, once a TWIC is issued to the applicant, their responsibility to disclose information to TSA that would disqualify them from holding a TWIC. The applicant signs and dates the form, and if required, the helper/translator will also sign the form and provide contact information.

Applicants are encouraged to review the TWIC Disclosure Form in order to familiarize themselves with it, and to complete and bring it with them to the enrollment center.

What if I do not have the required forms of identification or do not wish to sign the TWIC Disclosure Form?

You will not be able to enroll at that time or obtain a TWIC. Applicants are required to present these documents as well as complete the TWIC Application Disclosure Form.

Where can I enroll?

TSA will use a combination of fixed and mobile enrollment stations to make the enrollment process as efficient as possible for applicants and owners or operators. The current listing of enrollment locations is available on the TSA site.

What is pre-enrollment?

The pre-enrollment process allows applicants to provide much of the biographic information required for enrollment; to select an enrollment center where they wish to complete enrollment; and to make an appointment to complete enrollment at the enrollment center of their choosing. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to "pre-enroll." Pre-enrollment is available by clicking here.

Are appointments required for enrolling?

No. Appointments are encouraged to save applicants time but are not required and walk-ins are welcome.

How long does enrollment take?
The enrollment process for a pre-enrolled applicant is expected to take approximately 10 minutes. The enrollment process for an individual who chose not to pre-enroll is expected to take approximately 15 minutes.

Message From President - January 2011
As I prepared to write my first article for the NJMTA membership as the acting President, my thoughts are focused on the recent tragedy that occurred in Arizona where a Congressman was seriously wounded and 6 others murdered at a political rally. I find myself asking just what is happening to our country.
