CLEAR1 is CLEAR’s business identity verification solution for organizations.
What CLEAR1 is
CLEAR1 is CLEAR’s business identity verification solution for organizations. It combines identity details, government-ID checks, biometrics, trusted sources and device signals to assess whether a person is who they claim to be. A selfie checks liveness and matches the face to an ID photograph. Document analysis looks for security features and formatting associated with forged, altered or counterfeit IDs. Identity information is checked against authoritative, issuing, trusted and compliance sources, while device assurance examines possession and risk signals tied to a device, phone number or email. Organizations can configure verification flows, pass/fail rules and collect-only mode. After initial setup, users can re-verify with a selfie wherever CLEAR1 is used within an organization. Use cases include onboarding, account recovery, transaction monitoring and compliance reviews. APIs, OIDC standards and integrations such as Okta, Ping, Microsoft Entra, Workday, ServiceNow, Greenhouse, DocuSign, Epic and Nirvana support web or mobile embedding. CLEAR says biometric data remains in its environment. It describes FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit, NIST IAL2 and AAL2 alignment, and Full Service Kantara certification. FedRAMP Moderate authorization is in process. Pricing is on request.
