What is CLEAR?

CLEAR is a private-sector reusable identity network operated by CLEAR Secure, Inc. in the United States. It is best known for its biometric lanes at airports and stadiums, and its identity verification product, CLEAR1, extends that verified network to onboarding, access, and re-verification for businesses. It is a commercial identity platform rather than a government-issued or compulsory national ID.

A person first establishes a CLEAR identity by confirming a government ID and enrolling their biometrics, such as a face, eye, or fingerprint scan. Once enrolled, they become a reusable, verified member who can confirm their identity again in seconds with a selfie, so businesses do not have to repeat a full document check on every visit.

Verification asks the person to capture a selfie, which is matched to their enrolled CLEAR biometric. CLEAR corroborates the result against government IDs, device signals, and verified data sources. If you already hold the person's identity data, you can pass it in when the check launches so the customer sees a shorter journey.

How verification works

Collect or pass in identity data

The person confirms their details, or you pass known data in at launch to shorten the journey.

Selfie and biometric match

A liveness-checked selfie is matched against the person's enrolled CLEAR biometric and corroborated against government IDs and verified data sources.

Signals returned to your flow

A match result, verified name, and a full audit record flow straight into your Zenoo case.
