How to Cancel TSA PreCheck (And Get a Refund If You Just Paid – 2025 Guide)

Just enrolled in TSA PreCheck but changed your mind? Or maybe you accidentally signed up twice? While TSA PreCheck is normally non-refundable, there are still ways to cancel your enrollment — and potentially get your money back.

This guide walks you through everything you need to know about canceling or changing your TSA PreCheck membership in 2025.

🧾 Can You Cancel TSA PreCheck?

Technically, TSA PreCheck applications are non-refundable once submitted. However, if you:

  • Paid but didn’t complete your enrollment appointment
  • Were charged in error
  • Accidentally submitted duplicate applications

You may still qualify for a cancellation or refund through the enrollment provider.

💻 How to Cancel a TSA PreCheck Appointment (Before You Go)

If you haven't gone to your fingerprinting appointment yet, you can cancel it online — and may be eligible for a refund if you haven't submitted biometric data.

  1. Visit universalenroll.dhs.gov
  2. Click Manage Appointments
  3. Enter your appointment details (email or phone + confirmation number)
  4. Cancel the appointment and request a refund by contacting customer service

📞 Contact TSA PreCheck for a Refund Request

To request a refund or cancel your enrollment entirely, contact the enrollment provider directly:

Explain your situation and include your UE ID (from your confirmation email), date of payment, and the reason for cancellation.

❌ How to Remove TSA PreCheck From Your Airline Profile

If you're not using it and don’t want PreCheck automatically applied to your tickets:

  1. Log into your airline’s frequent flyer account
  2. Go to your profile or personal information section
  3. Delete your Known Traveler Number (KTN)
  4. Save your changes

This prevents TSA PreCheck from showing up on future boarding passes.

⚠️ What If I Was Just Charged and Didn't Use It?

If you were recently charged but haven’t finished enrollment, you may be eligible for a refund. The sooner you contact support, the better your chances. Refunds are typically denied if:

  • You already completed fingerprinting
  • Your application has been processed
  • You’ve already received your KTN
