New offering: CLEAR ID Confirm

Know your subject is who they say they are. Gain the access to confirm identities accurately and efficiently, and customize the entire process to conform to your identity verification guidelines. CLEAR ID Confirm equips your organization with credit header data, utility records, OFAC lists, FEIN information, worldwide international business records, and work-affiliations information – comprehensive public and proprietary data you can leverage to mitigate risk proactively and with fearless confidence.

CLEAR ID Confirm features:

  • Know the information you are receiving is credible with source documents that can be viewed within person or business reports when clicking on the source name.
  • Exact match logic is available for all fields, allowing you to decide what is most important. Know if the data Matches, Partially Matches, or has No Match to the wealth of public and proprietary records from CLEAR.

New enhanced features

Quick Analysis Flags

Now Quick Analysis Flags provides four additional flags that can be triggered when a subject has an associate or relative with particular records tied to them. These include OFAC, Global Sanction, or PEP listings; a residential address listed as a business address; a prison address on record; and a P.O. Box listed as an address.

FEIN Content Addition

The FEIN file within CLEAR has been enhanced with additional records, which include tens of millions of business and organizational data.

International Business Profile Content

The new International Business Profile in CLEAR contains over 35 million records that include business name, address, telephone number, classification codes, number of employees, and more.

CLEAR Administrative Tool

CLEAR now allows users with this feature enabled to move or remove dashboard modules, adjust report content and options, and even create new customized reports to fit their organization's specific investigative needs.

Associate Analytics Limiting Options

Now you will be able to limit the associates appearing in the Associate Analytics chart with the same options available for limiting associates in a report. You can limit by addresses and time frames.

Real-Time Vehicle Enhancement

This gateway provides access to data such as registration date, additional owner information, license plate number, and branded title information. CLEAR also provides you with a stock image of the vehicle in the results. (Images do not reflect the actual vehicle under investigation.)

Person Radius Search

Additional mapping functionality has been added to the map in the Map Analytics module. Now you can add a person result to the map to see the most recent individuals who have been residing at that particular address.

World-Check®

Users with access to the World-Check add-on will see the following display and functionality enhancements:

  • Linked Search is a new enhanced World-Check option that now appears in the pull-down menu when you click on a person or business name in CLEAR to perform a Linked Search.
  • Entity or Vessel name searching now includes the ability to incorporate AKA fields allowing users to have more inclusive and accurate results.
  • World-Check Unique IDs will now be displayed on each profile record.

Dockets Search & Display

CLEAR now offers stand-alone docket searching and full docket results. Enter, at a minimum, a case filing number and retrieve the information you need. Even print full dockets straight from CLEAR to share your findings easily.

Web Analytics

Enhanced to include a more robust search result, now powered by Bing. Allows you to view high-level details of the user and easily access the online profile you are reviewing.

Relatives Last Name Logic

When searching for possible relatives, results will only return individuals who share the same address and primary last name. This allows for more targeted results. AKAs can be included via a checkbox in reports and the Associate Analytics Preferences.

New reporting options

No Match Sections

CLEAR reports now have check boxes for sections with no matches giving you the option to include or exclude that section in your report.

Exporting Link Charts

VLX files can now be exported from CLEAR directly to i2 products without visualizing the LinkChart first.
