Is CLEAR only for US Citizens and Permanent residents?
I am an Italian citizen and registered for CLEAR yesterday. A friend just told me it is only for US citizens or permanent residents. Is that true? If so should I cancel my membership in CLEAR? Also do I need TSA-pre in addition to CLEAR?
Best Answer
According to the enrollment page, your friend is correct:
CLEAR is currently only available to US citizens and legal permanent residents 18 and older with a valid photo ID.
So, unless you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you probably should cancel your registration.

Answer 2
There are certain CLEAR services like the CLEAR Health pass which may be used by anyone 18 or older with a US state ID, driver license, US or international passport or a valid US permanent resident card (Who can use CLEAR healthpass).
A CLEAR membership is required in order to use any of these services. So technically a non citizen/permanent resident is eligible for a basic CLEAR membership.
