TWIC CARD

TWIC Card

Starting on July 1, 2015 Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) applicants who were born in the United States, and who claim U.S. citizenship, must provide documents to prove their citizenship. Until July 1, 2015 TWIC applicants who were born in the U.S. may continue to certify that they are U.S. citizens by checking the box on the electronically signed TWIC application and bring documents as listed on the Universal Enroll Site, which can be found here.

TSA is making this change to align TWIC proof of citizenship requirements with those of other TSA programs such as the Hazardous Material Endorsement and TSA Pre-Check programs. Requiring proof of citizenship at the time of enrollment will ensure that all TWIC applicants meet eligibility requirements for the credential. If you have any questions about proof of citizenship be sure to check with the TSA or go to their website prior to your time of enrollment.
