User takes a selfie
Advanced liveness detection confirms a real and present person.
At CLEAR, document verification is just one piece of a larger identity puzzle, connecting documents to real people through a multi-layered approach.
Forged driver’s licenses, manipulated passports, and AI-generated fakes—which have become easy and cheap to produce—can pass basic document scans. Without additional layers, businesses can’t confirm whether a document is authentic or if the person presenting it is its rightful owner.
CLEAR1 is more than document verification software. It not only verifies that a document is real, but also that it belongs to the person presenting it.

CLEAR1 layers document checks with biometric verification, source validation, and device assurance to verify both the document and the individual behind it.
CLEAR extracts data from machine-readable zones and barcodes while also validating holograms, microprinting, ultraviolet features, and other anti-counterfeiting elements.
CLEAR confirms that layouts, fonts, and proportions match official specifications while also identifying inconsistencies that indicate fake documents, such as repeating faces, signatures, or backgrounds.
CLEAR performs liveness detection on the selfie and matches the image to the portrait on the document. This ties the verified document to a real, present person.
CLEAR cross-references extracted document data such as name, DOB, and address against authoritative databases—like The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA)—for additional confirmation.
Verify a government-issued ID at sign-up to reduce fraud and create a trusted identity from the first interaction.
Validate identity documents and corroborate identity data to support KYC/AML requirements in regulated onboarding flows.
Confirm a user meets age or eligibility requirements by extracting and validating date of birth directly from a verified document.

Whereas most document verification software simply checks the document itself, CLEAR1 validates the document while also verifying the real person behind it—all in a single, integrated flow.
Once a user has been verified with CLEAR, they can reverify their identity with a single selfie. With tens of millions of CLEAR Members already verified, many users can skip re-uploading their document, which helps reduce friction and drop-off.
CLEAR1 supports 6,500+ document types across 200+ countries and territories, including driver's licenses, passports, national IDs, and residence permits, so businesses can verify customers regardless of where their documents were issued.
By verifying both the document and the person behind it, CLEAR1 helps businesses reduce fraud, support compliance, and streamline onboarding.
