CLEAR operates a biometric identity platform that uses facial recognition, iris scanning, and fingerprint technology to verify identity across physical and digital experiences. Founded in 2003 and relaunched in 2010, the company has built a membership base of millions across North America, with expansion into digital identity verification services.
The platform powers airport security expediting at over 60 locations, enabling members to move through security lines without physical ID checks. Beyond aviation, CLEAR has extended biometric verification into stadium and venue entry, and into digital identity verification services through partnerships including LinkedIn, positioning biometrics as a replacement for traditional passwords and physical identification documents.
The company operates across multiple technical domains including facial recognition, iris recognition, fingerprint analysis, and identity platform services. Its core architecture integrates with partner systems and APIs, enabling organisations across travel, hospitality, and digital services to incorporate biometric verification into their operations.
