You start your Clear Membership application online, at home or at the office, by filling out our secure online enrollment form. Then, the next time you're at the airport, stop by our ClearSpace Enrollment Station to complete your application and submit proof of identity. We'll take your photograph, and record your biometrics—in this case, your fingerprint and iris images.
Next, your application will be submitted to the U.S. Government's Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a unit of the Department of Homeland Security, for a Security Threat Assessment. Once you have passed this screening, we will charge our annual enrollment fee of $128 to your credit card. (TSA has asked us to tell you that this fee is to cover the costs of Clear and is not a charge requested by TSA.) When you are approved, you will receive your Clear Card in the mail. Once you activate it, you'll be able to use the ClearLane at the airport.
Using the Clear Lane
When you arrive at the Airport, you’ll present your Clear card to our uniformed attendants for admission to the Clear lane. You will be asked to present your biometric – your fingerprint or your iris image – at the kiosk to make sure it matches the biometric embedded in your Card, along with a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license) and your boarding pass. This is our way of making sure that the Card actually belongs to you. Then the unique number in your card is checked against the Clear database. If approval is granted, you will proceed to expedited security screening.
Ongoing Security
Your Membership will be continuously reviewed by TSA's ongoing security reviews. If your security status changes, your Membership will be immediately deactivated and you will receive a notification email of your status change as well as a refund of the unused portion of your annual enrollment fee. At the airport, you will still be able to use the standard security line but not the ClearLane.
If you choose to cancel your Membership for any reason, you will also receive a full refund of the prorated portion of your annual enrollment fee.
