Guided selfie capture
Users capture a selfie in a clear, guided flow with on-screen prompts from their own device.
How does selfie verification work?
Selfie verification asks a user to capture a selfie and compares it to a government ID photo, while CLEAR layers in document checks, device security signals, and corroboration against authoritative and credible data sources.
Why do businesses use selfie verification?
Organizations use selfie identity checks to help prevent fraud, strengthen account security, and streamline experiences by confirming that a real, present person matches a trusted identity before opening accounts, granting access, or resetting credentials.
Is selfie verification safe?
With CLEAR, users share data directly and always with explicit consent. CLEAR handles biometrics so your organization never has to store them, and only shares back what you request and what the user has consented to share.
Why does selfie verification fail sometimes?
Selfie verification can fail due to poor lighting, obstructions like sunglasses or masks, low-quality images, denied camera permissions, or connectivity issues, which is why CLEAR uses guided prompts and robust liveness detection to improve capture quality while still blocking spoof attempts.
How does CLEAR1 use selfie verification?
CLEAR1 uses selfie verification across onboarding, access, and recovery workflows, creating a reusable identity so trusted users can reverify in seconds, helping to protect against account takeovers and impersonation.
