Alaska Special, Mobile Centers Needed

The Marine Exchange of Alaska has been working with the Transportation Security Administration and its contractor Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Coast Guard to come up with a common-sense solution for the implementation of the TWIC Program in Alaska. Lockheed Martin and TSA acknowledged that, with only four fixed enrollment centers planned for Alaska, forcing people to travel from everywhere else in Alaska to these four centers two times would create an undo hardship for business and individuals who would be required to possess a TWIC card. Lockheed Martin agreed to provide mobile enrollment capability for smaller locations outside of the fixed centers located in Anchorage, Juneau, Nikiski, and Valdez. The majority of these mobile enrollment visits have already ended but a few more have been scheduled.

Stay tuned for updates

The Marine Exchange will continue to provide information on the TWIC Program on this web page as it becomes available so check back on this page frequently for updates. Below is a summary of general information related to the TWIC Program and a link to the Transportation Security Administration website for TWIC.
