How do I verify my identity with CLEAR?

Why we verify, and the step-by-step CLEAR flow.

Overview

Kashu verifies identity through CLEAR, our biometric verification partner, to meet U.S. financial regulations (KYC/AML) and prevent fraud. You must complete this before you can fully use Kashu Wallet, including funding your account, connecting payment methods, or transferring funds.

Step-by-step

  1. Start verification. Open your account and select Verify with CLEAR.

  2. Enter your phone number. Supply your mobile number and enter the one-time passcode.

  3. Continue on your phone. Scan the QR code with your phone's camera, or request a secure text link.

  4. Upload your documents. Submit a valid government-issued ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport) and provide your SSN. ITINs are not currently accepted.

  5. Complete the biometric check. Take a live selfie in a bright area to confirm your identity.

  6. Confirmation. Most verifications finish within minutes, and you get an approval notification.

Best practices

  • Use clear lighting for your selfie.

  • Spell your personal information exactly as it appears on your ID.

  • If you already have a CLEAR account, use those credentials.

Eligibility

  • Allowed: U.S. residents 18 or older with a valid SSN and a matching government-issued ID.

  • Prohibited: using someone else's documents, or submitting an expired or altered ID.
