A first for U.S. airports. A game-changer for travelers everywhere.

At CLEAR, we believe the future of travel should be predictable, trusted, and easy. That’s why we’re proud to launch eGates—cutting-edge innovation that enhances the passenger experience, coming to U.S. airports for the first time ever.

American travelers deserve the best possible journey through the airport. With eGates, CLEAR+ Members can now verify instantly and go directly to bag screening, unlocking a truly frictionless path from curb to gate. CLEAR eGates represent the latest advancement in our mission to transform the way people move through airports and beyond.

Travel is hard and getting harder—by 2030 there will be another million passengers coming through U.S. airports. CLEAR is obsessed with the Member experience and helping you win the day of travel—because the journey should be as enjoyable as the destination.

A New Era of Frictionless Travel

This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete reinvention of the airport experience. With eGates, Members can verify instantly using CLEAR’s face-first technology and head straight to bag screening.

World-Class Security Meets U.S. Innovation

Already in airports around the world, the launch of our eGates in the U.S. will enhance security across CLEAR’s nationwide network. With the U.S. preparing to welcome millions of visitors for the upcoming World Cup and Olympic Games, this innovation is happening at the perfect time, enabling U.S. airports to meet the moment with trust and predictability.

Be Unstoppable with eGates

In a recent note to CLEAR+ Members, CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker shared her perspective on the exciting launch and what it means for the future of travel.

“We are obsessed with the Member experience, which is why we’re bringing eGates to U.S. airports for the first time ever—an innovative, automated technology that strengthens security and enhances the customer journey [...] Because with CLEAR, you should feel unstoppable.”

How It Works

To use eGates, you can simply:

  1. Scan your boarding pass when you enter the CLEAR+ Lane.

  2. Walk straight up to the eGate and verify with your face—instantly and without breaking your stride.

  3. Go directly to bag screening.
