The Department of Veterans Affairs has added a CLEAR login option using facial recognition to VA.gov and launched an in-person identity verification pilot at six medical facilities in Atlanta, Brooklyn, Orlando, Palo Alto, San Juan and Washington, D.C. The login is voluntary and joins existing options like Login.gov and ID.me.

• CLEAR login on VA.gov uses facial recognition
• In-person verification pilot runs at six VA medical sites
• VA CLEAR accounts differ from airport security accounts
• VA.gov also supports Login.gov and ID.me
