B. Matching & Creating Users

When a verification completes, CLEAR provides data back to your system. To make this useful, you need to decide how to match a CLEAR-verified user to an existing user profile — or create a new profile if none exists.

There are several approaches:

• Account Binding — Partner provides a unique identifier (e.g., user ID) that CLEAR returns in the verification result. This allows you to link CLEAR users to existing profiles in your system.
• Data Matching — Partner compares attributes returned from CLEAR (e.g., name, date of birth, phone number) against existing records.
• User Profile Matching — CLEAR can perform the comparison for you, using advanced matching logic to reduce error rates.
