Introducing CLEAR1:
The New Standard in Identity

April 22, 2025

Why do we still wait in lines to prove who we are? From boarding a flight to checking in at a doctor’s office to renting a car, we rely on outdated identity verification methods that create friction, leave us vulnerable to fraud, and fall short when convenience and security matter most.

At CLEAR, we knew there was a better way. A way to make identity both seamless and secure—physically and digitally.

So, in 2010, we built it. In the most highly regulated environment, where nothing can come at the expense of security. Our vision has always been that you are you, anywhere life takes you.

Today, that vision extends far beyond the airport. CLEAR has been helping businesses across different industries reduce fraud, streamline operations, and create trusted experiences.

And as our business offering continues to grow, we’re evolving how we talk about it.

Meet CLEAR1

For the past few years, businesses have relied on CLEAR to deliver more than just verification. With a multi-layered approach to identity and the ability for users to instantly verify across our growing network of partners, we help businesses enhance security and build trust without unnecessary friction.

Now, we’re introducing a name that better reflects that full capability.

Meet CLEAR1.

It’s the same powerful solution, with a name that captures what we’ve always delivered: one unified product, one simple integration, and one trusted network––for all your identity needs.

What’s Changing? Just the Name.

Everything our partners rely on remains the same. The technology, the security, and experience are unchanged.

What’s new is a name that better reflects the breadth and strength of what we offer: identity assurance, not just verification.

Because identity is complex. But verifying it shouldn’t be. CLEAR1 simplifies the process while strengthening security every step of the way.

So whether you’re fighting fraud, securing your workforce, or elevating customer trust, CLEAR1 delivers identity assurance you and your users can count on.

Let’s talk about how CLEAR1 can support your business.
