CLEAR Launches to Accelerate Identity Verification

Verifying your identity with the Service Desk is about to get much faster.

IS Services has launched CLEAR, introducing a faster and more secure way to verify your identity when contacting the Service Desk. CLEAR will be used anytime identity verification is required, including password resets, multi-factor authentication registration and access requests. Instead of manager outreach and live verification calls, you will confirm it is you in seconds using a selfie and, if needed, a government-issued ID.

When you reach out, the Service Desk will send a secure SMS link to your personal mobile device so you can verify your identity through CLEAR and quickly move forward with your request. Self-service password resets will still be available, and the process remains unchanged.
