How clear works
Whether you’re a business traveler, frequent flier or leisure traveler, as a Clear member you won’t wait in airport security lines.

Clear’s simple, two step enrollment process begins online. Applicants create an account and fill-in basic biographic information. Then, applicants must go to a Clear enrollment location, where our attendants will verify two forms of government-issued identification, and capture a photograph, your fingerprint images and your iris images. This information is used to allow you access to the designated Clear lane at the checkpoint. More information on enrollment.

Welcome to the Clear Lane


The Clear lane is a designated lane at the security checkpoint. Clear Members must verify a fingerprint or iris image (collected during enrollment) in order to enter the lane.
At the Clear lane, a Clear attendant will greet you and check your boarding pass, Clear card and government-issued photo ID. You will be asked to insert your Clear card into the kiosk, which also verify the fingerprint or iris image that you selected during enrollment. When everything is verified (which takes just a few seconds), you will receive a receipt indicating that you are a Clear member.



Clear members still proceed through metal detectors and x-ray machines operated and regulated by the Department of Homeland Security but other parts of the process are expedited. When you approach the lane, our attendants will help you with the bins and to get ready to go through the checkpoint. This alone helps our lane speed by as much as 30%!

Ongoing Security
Clear memberships are continuously reviewed by the Department of Homeland Security. If an individual’s security status changes, his or her membership in Clear may be deactivated by the government and you will receive a notification email of your status change as well as a refund of the unused portion of your Clear membership fee. The TSA vetting fee is not refundable. At the airport, you will still be able to use the standard security line but not the registered traveler fast lane.

At the Clear lane, a Clear attendant will greet you and check your boarding pass, Clear card and government-issued photo ID. You will be asked to insert your Clear card into the kiosk, which also verify the fingerprint or iris image that you selected during enrollment.

Aside from the 3-tiered DLs outlined for NY by Spitzer and Chertoff, this is another push for the enslaving Real ID.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of the iris deal, although at this point my husband may try it. He has been flagged by the TSA and cannot even print his online boarding pass or at the airport terminal. He has to go to the counter, and they have to check his ID. Yet last Thursday he flew and nothing was wrong. TSA told him that his name has been flagged because it is a very common name (duh) and someone might have tried to do something with his name. Ok, I would believe these sacks o' shi* if our friend whose name is NOT common but is a full blooded American and is having the exact same problem.

It's high time they start profiling and leave the little guys alone. We are so ticked off at this. For him to clear his name he has to go through a long process, basically an act of Congress. I think the TSA is full of it and they are profiling the wrong people.

It's high time they start profiling and leave the little guys alone.

I've been saying that for quite a while now. Profiling is what probably helped us win the war against Japan.
