Redress numbers are not found on passports. Instead, they are issued by the Department of Homeland Security's TRIP program to help travelers who have faced repeated security issues and are often mistaken for someone else. To find your redress number, check the documentation you received when you were assigned the number or log into your DHS TRIP account.
