Your Known Traveler Number (KTN) is not found on your TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) card. TWIC cards are issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for maritime workers and do not feature a KTN. If you are searching for your KTN, it is associated with TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI programs. You typically receive your KTN via email or mail upon approval of your application to one of these programs.
