Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC): The Leading Designated Aviation Channeler

Welcome to Transportation Security Clearinghouse

AAAE's Transportation Security Clearinghouse is the only Designated Aviation Channeler (DAC) with more than two decades of airport experience. The Clearinghouse is part of AAAE’s constant advocacy efforts on behalf of airports to ensure that airport interests, from the badging office and beyond, are represented at the federal level. That’s why the Clearinghouse remains proud to be the only DAC that answers to airports—not shareholders. Years after other channelers entered the marketplace, the Clearinghouse continues to remain the choice for hundreds of airports across the country.

Transportation Security Clearinghouse Web-Based Fingerprint Capture

Applicant fingerprint biometrics are required by federal aviation security regulations to complete criminal history record checks (CHRCs) and Rap Back subscription enrollment. AAAE's Transportation Security Clearinghouse offers a web-based fingerprint capture capability which gives airports and air carriers the ability to upload applicant fingerprints directly through the TSC enrollment website.

Fingerprints are then submitted along with any other required background checks to the federal government together in one combined submission.
