What You Can Fax to Transportation Security Administration

  • A cover sheet naming the exact office and the reason for the fax
  • A licensing application with the required attachments
  • A signed authorization if someone is acting on your behalf
  • A records or FOIA request with your identifiers
  • A completed form addressed to the right office, with a cover sheet naming it
Tip: Put your full name and any case, receipt, or file number on every page so Transportation Security Administration can match documents that get separated. Name the receiving office on the cover sheet — the office that handles your application or case or the office on your notice — and add a callback number. Check whether Transportation Security Administration accepts a fax for your request at all, then combine the pages into one job.

The portal-or-fax question at Transportation Security Administration

For many requests, Transportation Security Administration now prefers the TSA online claims and TRIP systems to a fax — but a fax still applies to certain documents. A fax is most useful when the office asks for one or the portal does not cover your form. If you do fax, address the cover sheet to the office that handles your application or case and keep the confirmation.

Licensing and records at Transportation Security Administration

Transportation Security Administration reviews an application on the record, so a complete package matters. The application or the notice names the office and the required attachments. Confirm the current fax with Transportation Security Administration before you send.

Confirming the right fax at Transportation Security Administration

A fax number copied from a search result may be stale; Transportation Security Administration has the current one. Start on Transportation Security Administration's official .gov page, then confirm the office and fax by phone. That one confirmation is what keeps the paperwork out of the wrong queue.

Incoming faxes to Transportation Security Administration are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not immediate. Processing generally runs Monday through Friday during business hours. Plan a filing near a deadline for a weekday morning.

Faxing to Transportation Security Administration is fine as long as the channel is encrypted. A consumer app or a shared office machine is a weak place for documents like these.

Send the application or request to the office that works it, with the required attachments. Confirm the current fax with Transportation Security Administration before sending.
