Summary
Google Wallet became TSA PreCheck Touchless ID’s first digital-wallet partner, letting eligible Android users enroll more easily and use facial comparison at airport security.
The change removes the old step of manually uploading a passport and opting in separately for each airline; once a digital ID is added, TSA confirms enrollment and marks the boarding pass.
Touchless ID is now available at 65 U.S. airports and works with more than 100 airlines, with dedicated lanes allowing travelers to skip standard PreCheck document checks.
The feature carries no extra charge beyond existing program fees—about $77 for PreCheck and $120 for Global Entry, each valid for five years—as TSA pushes faster screening during peak summer travel.
