How to Join Clear Registered Traveler

Step One: Online Enrollment

Start your application online at any computer with secure internet access. You will fill in basic biographic data such as full legal name, address, previous addresses, and height. You will also provide a credit card number, but you will not be charged the $99.95 annual fee until you are approved for membership.

Step Two: In-Person Enrollment

This portion of your application can be completed at any Clear enrollment station. A Clear attendant will verify your identification, capture images of your irises and fingerprints, and take your photograph. To complete this step you will need:

• Your Clear account number (from step one)
• At least two pieces of approved government-issued identification that together provide proof of identity and proof of citizenship, status as a US citizen or permanent foreign resident. A US passport is strongly recommended.  Please review the detail of the new TSA guidelines.

You can complete your application at any of our Clear enrollment stations:

• Albany (ALB)
• Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG)
• Indianapolis (IND)
• Little Rock (LIT)
• Orlando (MCO)
• LaGuardia International Airport(LGA)
• Manhattan
• New York JFK Terminals 1, 4, and 7 (JFK)
• Newark Terminal B (EWR)
• San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
• San Francisco (Downtown)
• Mineta San José (SJC)
• San José (Downtown)
• Westchester (HPN)

 

Please check location details and hours of operation before visiting a Clear enrollment station to complete in-person enrollment.

Step Three: You're Cleared

After you complete in-person enrollment, we send your information to TSA to conduct a "Security Assessment." If you are not approved, your credit card will not be charged and you will still be able to use the standard airport security line.

Step Four: Your Clear Card

You will receive your Clear card in the mail approximately two to four weeks after completing in-person enrollment. Some applications may take longer for TSA to process, but this in no way has any bearing on whether you will be approved for the program. You may use your card immediately at the registered traveler lane in the airport.
