CLEAR performs certain checks on the information that you provide to us to verify your identity and may share information about these checks with a partner whose services you are choosing to use. This may include checks to confirm that you are you and that the information you provide is accurate. Examples may include confirming that the picture on your ID appears to match your selfie, assessing device fraud risk, or in the case of KYC compliance use cases, that your information does not appear on a sanctions list. With your consent, CLEAR may share these verification details with partners to help unlock their experience for you. Partners may also use this information for compliance reasons, or to help you troubleshoot.

CLEAR Plus uses biometrics to replace your I.D. for faster entry at airports. Biometrics are unique biological characteristics that can be used to identify you, including your eyes, fingers, and face.

For TSA PreCheck®, you must provide an original or certified copy* of the following documentation to meet identity and citizenship requirements - see below:

List A - ONE document is acceptable from the following forms of identification:

A passport cannot be used as a List A document if it is expired**. If it has expired within the past 12 months, it can be used, but only as a proof of citizenship (List B).

List B - At least two documents are required if you do not have a document from List A to present. The documents must include 1.) A valid photo ID, and 2.)

• Unexpired temporary driver's license plus expired driver's license (constitutes one document)
• Unexpired photo ID card issued by the Federal government or by a State or outlying possession of the U.S. This must include a federal agency, State or State agency seal or logo (such as a State university ID). Permits are not considered valid identity documents (such as gun permits).

**A passport cannot be used as a List A document if it is expired. If it has expired within the past 12 months, it can be used, but only as a proof of citizenship (List B). Additionally, an expired U.S. passport may not be presented by itself. It must be presented with at least one other List B document.

***TSA will accept only the following birth records:

• A long-form U.S. state/territory-issued certified/sealed Birth Certificate; or
• A U.S. state/territory-issued certified/sealed Birth Abstract that meets the requirements of a Birth Certificate (Please note that Birth Registration/Certificate of Birth Registration records are not acceptable); or

• List parent(s) full names.
  • A full name consists of a first and last name; middle name is not required. "Unknown" entries for one or both parents on a valid birth certificate are acceptable, as long as the parent names fields are present. Additionally, a blank space or asterisks (****) in the space where a mother's and/or father's name would be listed will be deemed acceptable, since there is no standard input across agencies to indicate that one or both parents are unknown.
• Has the signature of the city, county, or state official or registrar.
• Has the date filed with registrar's office.
• Has the seal of issuing authority (seals may appear, but are not required to be printed, as an embossed or raised overt security feature).

You will be refunded for appointments canceled at least 12 hours ahead of the appointment time and will be issued back to the original form of payment within 7-10 business days. Appointments canceled within 12 hours of the appointment time will not be refunded.

We understand that plans might change beyond your control in the world of air travel. If your flight is canceled and you’re no longer traveling, simply send an email with the details to ambassadorassist@clearme.com and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of. If you need to adjust your booking within 12 hours because of a flight disruption, please contact ambassadorassist@clearme.com and we will help you reschedule.

Yes! Anyone with an existing TSA PreCheck® membership can renew through CLEAR. You may begin the renewal process as early as 6 months prior to expiration.

We hold a window of time before and after your appointment in case you arrive a bit early or behind schedule. Please let your Ambassador know when they reach out over text message, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Unfortunately, this is not supported right now. If you’d like to change the type of service, please cancel your original appointment and book the service type you’d prefer.

Of course! We’ll happily help get your bags to the right place. If you’re flying on a domestic itinerary with Delta or United at DEN, we’ll meet you at our bag drop station outside Door 600 or 612 West, where we will tag and check your bags for you. For all other airports, we’ll meet you where you arrive and help you get to the correct airline baggage counter.

You’ll need to reserve wheelchair services through your airline and meet them at your airline counter. Once you’ve checked in with your airline’s special services counter, we’ll gladly assist you from there and get you to the fastest way through the airport.

The service is only available at DEN at this time, but we will let you know as we expand the service to additional CLEAR airport locations.

We’re regularly adding more slots to the calendar as we ramp up this service at select airports. If you don’t see an available slot, keep checking back—we release more slots on a regular basis.

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 face, eyes, or fingers.

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.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer Ambassador Assist after your flight. If you would find this service valuable, please let us know in your feedback surveys!

Our Ambassadors are here to ensure your travel experience is seamless and stress-free. With Ambassador Assist, our team can help you with your carry-on luggage and bring you to your gate, lounge (if you have access), or a restaurant. Ambassadors can also help you find concessions or restrooms and wait for you for quick stops. Please note that our Ambassadors cannot wait with you at the gate, bring you from a lounge to the gate, watch your children or pets, accompany minors, or accept tips.
