What is the difference between CLEAR Plus and TSA PreCheck®? Do I need both?
CLEAR Plus allows for a quick identity verification experience at the airport. Step right up to a CLEAR pod and verify you are you with your eyes or fingerprint instead of waiting to show government issued photo I.D.
TSA PreCheck® is a U.S. government program that identifies travelers deemed low-risk by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Once approved to participate in the program, it allows travelers to pass through expedited security screening at U.S. airports nationwide with no need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts or light jackets. This allows travelers to enjoy a more convenient and efficient experience at airport security.
Many of our members find that these two services complement each other—providing the quickest, surest route through the airport.
Why is identity important?
Identity is foundational to building trust online in the digital space. CLEAR Verified gives you the confidence you’re only engaging with verified customers to create safer experiences and reduce fraud.
What does CLEAR use to verify my identity?
CLEAR uses biometrics to replace your I.D. for faster entry at stadiums, airports, and other venues across the country. Biometrics are unique biological characteristics that can be used to identify you, including your eyes, fingerprints, and face.
How does CLEAR protect my data?
CLEAR's High Assurance Mobile Enrollment is approved by the industry experts at Kantara Initiative at Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2). Read more about IAL2 here.
CLEAR has been found by TSA to meet the NIST 800-53 HIGH baseline for security and privacy controls. CLEAR is also certified as a Department of Homeland Security Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology.
