Meet someone like you.

People who qualify often don't realize it. Here are a few of their stories.

Portrait of Naomi, a woman in her late thirties
Insulin Pump & CGM

Naomi, 39 — Seattle, WA

Naomi wears an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, and every trip through security meant a longer conversation with officers. A physician letter describing her devices now travels with her, and screening goes faster because officers know what to expect before they ask.

Portrait of Frank, a man in his early sixties
Pacemaker

Frank, 63 — Milwaukee, WI

Frank's pacemaker sets off the metal detector every time. He used to explain it from scratch at every checkpoint. Now he hands over a letter describing the device, and the conversation is over in seconds.

Portrait of Camille, a woman in her mid thirties
Hidden Chronic Pain Condition

Camille, 34 — New Orleans, LA

Camille's fibromyalgia makes standing still for long screening waits genuinely painful, but nothing about her looks visibly disabled. Her letter gives her a way to request accommodation without explaining her whole medical history to a stranger at the checkpoint.

THE PROBLEM

Getting a letter meant jumping through hoops.

  1. Schedule a doctor's appointment Wait weeks for availability. Take time off work. Explain your condition or device all over again.
  2. Get the letter written correctly Hope your doctor knows what screening officers actually need to see in a medical notification letter.
  3. Hope it holds up at the checkpoint Arrive at the airport unsure whether the letter you brought actually addresses your situation.

Before Rocket Records, there was only one way to do this, and it was exhausting.

5 out of 5 stars
My insulin pump made every airport trip stressful. I got my letter in two days and I have not had a difficult screening since. Worth it for the peace of mind alone.

Nathan R. - Minnesota

I travel with an ostomy bag and used to dread the checkpoint conversation. The letter explains everything before anyone has to ask. It made flying feel normal again.

Tessa Brennan - Maryland

5 out of 5 stars
My son is autistic and airport crowds overwhelm him fast. Having a letter to hand over meant we could request a quieter lane without a long explanation. It changed how we travel.

FAQs

Rocket Records provides a physician-signed letter describing your medical condition, device, or supplies, written to help you communicate with TSA officers during screening.

No. All passengers go through screening. Your TSA letter helps officers understand your condition or device before they ask, which often makes screening faster, quieter, and more private.

That's right. We retrieve your existing medical records and work with licensed healthcare providers to verify your condition. If your records clearly show you qualify, no additional doctor visit is needed.

Your letter is signed by a licensed physician and written in screening-relevant language, so you can present it at TSA checkpoints nationwide. TSA recognizes medical documentation as a way to communicate your condition, though officers still exercise their own judgment during screening.

Yes. TSA runs a free helpline called TSA Cares that can arrange a Passenger Support Specialist to meet you at the checkpoint. Call at least 72 hours before you fly. Your letter and that call work well together: the call arranges the assistance, and the letter explains your condition once you're there.

Most requests are processed same-day. Your signed letter is typically delivered within 24-48 hours, ready to travel with you.

Many qualifying conditions aren't visible. Autism, chronic pain, anxiety, epilepsy, and internal medical devices all qualify. Eligibility is based on how your condition affects screening, not how it looks to others.

Implanted and worn devices, ostomy and medical supplies, hidden neurological conditions, chronic pain, respiratory conditions, mobility limits, mental health conditions, and sensory impairments. If your situation isn't listed, we'll help determine whether a letter can help.

If our clinician determines your situation doesn't warrant a letter, we'll explain why and help you gather additional medical records for reconsideration if appropriate. We also offer a partial refund in the case of denial.
