[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are all conditionally approved. How long from our interviews until when we can fully use the service - anyone want to share how long it took for them? Do we get a physical card or just a number? How does it work? Thx.[/quote]

Did interview on departure at IAD. By the time I sat down at my gate I had my approval and known traveler number. By the time I returned from my 10 day trip I had my card. I used my known traveler number for entry into the US. The end. Very easy and efficient. [/quote]

OP here. Will be similar for us. So how exactly do we use the number on our return if we haven’t been home yet to get the cards from the mail? Thanks. [/quote]

You don't need the KTN for entering the US at an airport. Your GE profile will be linked to your passport and to the face scan you do at the GE interview. Just go to the GE kiosks when you reenter the US, it will scan your face and find you in the system. Worst comes to worst you scan your passport.

As for the KTN, it's actually in your conditional approval letter, or was for us years ago. Should be at the top of one of the pages. You only need that to put into your plane reservations to ensure you get PreCheck on your boarding pass [/quote]

The KTN should be listed as "PASSID" in the letter. Same thing.[/quote]
