I'm stuck on a loading or frozen screen. What should I do?

Verify with CLEAR
This is some text inside of a div block.

If you're stuck on a loading or frozen screen when verifying with CLEAR, try the following:

  • Close the browser tab and clear your cache
  • Reopen the verification link and try again
  • Try a different browser, such as Chrome, Safari, or Edge

My phone or browser is out of date. Can I still complete my verification?

Verify with CLEAR
This is some text inside of a div block.

Verifying with CLEAR requires a modern smartphone with a working front-facing camera and updated software. Any of the following will work:

  • iPhone: iOS 18.4 or higher
  • Android: Android 15 or higher
  • Browsers: Chrome 135+, Safari 18.4+, or Edge 134+

Always use your personal phone number and personal email address when verifying with CLEAR. Using a work phone or work email may result in a failed verification.

I received an error that says, “An account was found but does not match your information.” What does this mean?

Verify with CLEAR
This is some text inside of a div block.

This message means that you have an existing CLEAR account, but it is associated with a different phone number or email address. This can happen because:

  • You used a different phone number or email address when you previously enrolled in or verified with CLEAR
  • You recently changed your phone number, and it’s still linked to an older CLEAR account

Here's how to fix it:

  • Make sure you entered the same phone number and email address you originally used with CLEAR
  • Reach out to CLEAR Member Care by calling 855-CLEARME to update your phone number or email address, or to request an account reset

I received an error that says, “This document is associated with another account” What does this mean?

Verify with CLEAR
This is some text inside of a div block.

This message can mean:

  • The document you scanned has already been used for a verification associated with a different phone number or email address
  • You previously enrolled in or verified with CLEAR, but entered a different phone number or email address

You can fix this by scanning a different document during verification or reaching out to CLEAR Member Care to resolve the issue.
