With CLEAR and FNF
- A more consistent approach to seller identity verification
- Seller verification completed earlier in the transaction process
- Verification results integrated within existing FNF workflows
- A more trusted, secure, and confident closing experience for sellers, agents and everyone involved in the transaction

FAQ
What is CLEAR?
CLEAR is a secure identity platform used to help confirm identity during the closing process. Many people recognize CLEAR from airports and other trusted identity environments, where it’s used to make everyday interactions easier, more secure, and friction-free. The same trusted technology is used here to help protect real estate transactions.
Who can use CLEAR?
Anyone with a valid government-issued ID and a smartphone can choose to verify with CLEAR.
What information is used during verification?
CLEAR may collect information such as your name, date of birth, phone number, email address, government issued ID, and a selfie to help verify your identity.
Does the title company store my selfie or biometric information?
Fidelity National Financial does not store your selfie or biometric data. The selfie you provide is collected and securely stored by CLEAR, our identity verification partner, solely for the purpose of verifying your identity. CLEAR's handling of your biometric information — including retention and deletion practices — is governed by CLEAR's Privacy Policy. Questions regarding your data should be directed to CLEAR.
What if I already have a CLEAR account?
Existing CLEAR Members may be able to verify even faster with a quick selfie.
Do I need to download the CLEAR app?
