CLEAR supports government-issued photo IDs from most countries, including:

  • Passports
  • Driver’s licenses
  • National identity cards
  • Residence permits (for foreign nationals or visa holders)

To be accepted for verification, your ID must:

  • Be valid and not expired
  • Have the name and photo clearly visible
  • Be officially issued by a recognized government authority

CLEAR supports IDs from over 190 countries and territories, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K., and the European Union, as well as many regions in Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania.

If your document type isn’t accepted or fails repeatedly, try using a passport, which has the highest success rate globally.
