Official TSA Candidate Portal website

The sign-in page people are looking for is on applicant.tsa.dhs.gov — Official government domain. Before you type anything, check the browser address bar shows exactly applicant.tsa.dhs.gov over HTTPS — look-alike domains are how phishing pages work. We do not host the login form and never ask for your credentials; this link goes to the organisation’s own website.

1·2·3How to log in

  1. Navigate to the official government domain directly (genuine services use government domains such as .gov or the country equivalent).
  2. Choose the TSA Candidate Portal login or registration option.
  3. Enter your registered ID, reference or username and password.
  4. Complete any OTP, e-signature or identity verification step required.
  5. Log out and clear the session on shared devices.

!Can’t log in? Common fixes

  • Account not found: confirm you registered on this exact service — many agencies run several separate portals.
  • Verification pending: some government accounts need manual approval before first login works.
  • Use only the official “forgot password” or helpdesk contact published on the government site for resets.
  • High-traffic deadlines (tax, results, applications) can slow the portal — retry off-peak rather than re-submitting.

✓Staying safe

Government services never charge a fee to simply log in and never ask for passwords by phone or email. Verify the official domain before entering TSA Candidate Portal details and ignore third-party “login help” sites that request your credentials.
