The short answer
The registry records CLEAR Plus Annual Biometric Membership as a possible interpretation of CLEARME* VERIFICATION. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: CLEARME* VERIFICATION on your statement is the annual membership fee for CLEAR Plus, the biometric identity verification service operated by Alclear, LLC. CLEAR Plus installs biometric pods at major US airports and sports stadiums, where members scan their iris or fingerprint to confirm their identity at the security checkpoint and skip to the front of the ID-check line. As of 2024, CLEAR Plus is available at more than 50 airports including LAX, JFK, O'Hare, and Denver International.
Unreviewed registry note: The annual membership costs $189 per year at the standard rate, though many premium travel credit cards — including select American Express, United, and Delta cards — offer annual statement credits that cover part or all of that fee. This charge typically appears on your statement once per year on your membership anniversary date. You may see it labeled CLEARME* VERIFICATION, CLEAR ME PLUS, ALCLEAR LLC CLEAR, or CLEARME 855-253-2763. Promotional trials of 2 to 3 months offered at airport checkpoints convert to the full annual rate when the trial ends, which catches a lot of people off guard.
Common reasons for this charge
Unreviewed registry note: CLEAR Plus membership renews once per year, so the charge may look unfamiliar if you signed up months ago or received a complimentary period through a credit card or airline program that has since ended.
- Unreviewed registry note: An annual CLEAR Plus membership renewed automatically on your account anniversary.
- Unreviewed registry note: You signed up for a promotional trial (e.g., 2 or 3 free months) at an airport checkpoint that converted to an annual plan.
- Unreviewed registry note: A family member or linked secondary user was added to your CLEAR family account plan.

Does CLEAR replace TSA PreCheck?
