Today's expansion marks the first
international launch of CLEAR Verified
NEW
YORK, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LinkedIn,
the world's largest professional network, and CLEAR (NYSE:
YOU), the secure identity company, announced today they are
expanding digital safety and trust by empowering LinkedIn members
in Canada to verify their identity
with CLEAR for free. From the LinkedIn app, a member can affirm
their identity with the CLEAR Verified (formerly known as
Powered by CLEAR) platform, and add a visible indicator to
their LinkedIn profile showing the member's identity has been
verified by CLEAR. Beginning this month, LinkedIn's 22 million
Canada-based members will have the
option to verify their identity with CLEAR in English or French,
using their government-issued ID and a selfie. Existing CLEAR users
will simply be prompted to snap a selfie to verify their
identity for use on their LinkedIn profile. To verify your identity
with CLEAR, click here.
Today's announcement marks the CLEAR Verified platform's first
move into an international market. Earlier this year, CLEAR and
LinkedIn launched free identity verification for LinkedIn's
206 million U.S.-based members. The partnership provides consumers
and businesses with additional comfort that the people they
encounter on LinkedIn are real and represented authentically. For

"As LinkedIn continues to prioritize authenticity and security,
these new verification options empower Canadian LinkedIn members to
build a trusted professional network, ensuring a safer and more
reliable experience for everyone on the platform," said
Diana Luu, LinkedIn Canada
Country Manager.
"CLEAR and LinkedIn share a vision of trust and safety for our
millions of users. We're excited to expand our partnership to
Canada to help more people foster
genuine connections online," said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker. "When you verify your
identity with CLEAR on LinkedIn, you're more likely to be
considered for a job, have your in-mail opened, and build
connections - it's that simple."

partners across healthcare, hospitality, rental car, sports,
entertainment and more that leverage CLEAR's identity technology to
provide trusted and seamless experiences – totally for free – to
