CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) announced a partnership with Samsung Electronics America to launch Samsung ID with CLEAR, enabling users to add their US passport to Samsung Wallet as a digital identification for travel purposes.

The service allows travelers to verify their identity at over 250 Transportation Security Administration checkpoints using their Samsung phone instead of presenting a physical ID. The digital ID is backed by information from a user's US passport and verified through CLEAR's identity platform.

US passport holders can create and store the TSA-approved digital ID in Samsung Wallet for domestic travel and age verification at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, with additional sporting venues planned. The setup process requires users to have a valid US passport and follows prompts within the Samsung Wallet app.

"CLEAR's secure identity verification platform makes experiences safer and easier – both physically and digitally," said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker. "Now with CLEAR's secure identity platform embedded in Samsung Wallet, verifying your identity is easier than ever."

Woncheol Chai, EVP and Head of Digital Wallet Team at Samsung Electronics, stated: "We're thrilled to partner with CLEAR to bring CLEAR ID to Samsung Wallet, making airport travel and other identity verification experiences easier and frictionless for our users."

The digital ID can be presented at security checkpoints through a simple tap or QR scan. Users can also upgrade to CLEAR+ membership directly through their phone after initial verification. CLEAR reported having over 41 million members in its network.

Samsung Wallet serves as a platform for payment cards, IDs, passes, and digital keys. The partnership expands the wallet's capabilities to include passport verification and government use cases.
