What is a Pre-ID Contact?

The Pre-ID Contact is the person designated in your profile to handle Pre-ID. The Pre-ID Contact will receive the status report for your Pre-ID upload.

Remember this Pre-ID Contact?

If you don't want to type in the Pre-ID contact every time you log in, we have to "remember" it. In order to do that, we need to give you a "cookie" that will store this technical contact information on your computer. That way, whenever you are asked for a technical contact, we'll know to re-use this information.

If you don't want us to remember your Pre-ID contact, then you will need to enter it every time you are asked for it. If you are concerned about cookies and why we use them, we encourage you to read this message that explains how cookies work.

**Precoding for Texas users only.
