Effective November 1st, 2010 TSA requires passengers to provide complete Secure Flight passenger data when booking reservations so TSA can conduct watch list matching and approve airlines to issue a boarding pass. To avoid unnecessary delays and prevent misidentifications, passengers should provide complete Secure Flight data when booking airline travel, whether they have booked directly with the airline, a travel agent or an online booking site.Complete Secure Flight passenger data includes full name (as it appears on government-issued ID e.g. Driver's License, Passport etc.), date of birth, gender and Redress Number (if applicable). After November 1, 2010, Secure Flight will not conduct watch list matching or approve the issuance of a boarding pass by an airline if complete passenger data is not submitted.
