How does CLEAR work?

By replacing your ID with your eyes and fingertips, CLEAR helps you get through security faster at major airports, sports stadiums and other venues across the US. At PARTICIPATING AIRPORTS , look for the CLEAR Lane at TSA security checkpoints and a CLEAR Ambassador will greet you. At the CLEAR pod, you'll scan your boarding pass, confirm your identity with your fingerprints or irises, and then we'll escort you straight to physical screening. It's quick and easy! Those with TSA PreCheck can also enjoy CLEAR to speed even faster through the full airport security and screening process. If you are TSA PreCheck eligible for your flight, visit the CLEAR Lane and verify your identity. We'll read your TSA PreCheck eligibility on your boarding pass and escort you to the TSA PreCheck expedited lanes for physical screening. Visit our WHERE WE ARE page before your next flight to see which CLEAR Lanes are situated next to TSA PreCheck. CLEAR at sports and entertainment venues is included with a CLEAR Plus membership. Members can simply go to the CLEAR Lane at the entrance, tap their fingers, and be on their way to enjoy the big event. It's the same fast and friendly service as the airport. Fans can enroll in a free CLEAR membership to enjoy expedited entry for games and shows at select sports and entertainment venues. A free CLEAR membership does not provide access to CLEAR at airport security. Fans may bring one guest with them through the CLEAR Lane and can upgrade to a full membership any time by logging in at MY.CLEARME.COM and selecting 'Upgrade.' Visit our WHERE WE ARE page to see all of our participating locations.
