Identity verification protects everyone on Clara, including you.
When you verify your identity, you're joining a trusted platform where both landlords and renters know they're dealing with real, verified people. This creates a professional rental experience and protects sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.
How Identity Verification Protects You
Prevents fraud and scams Verification ensures only legitimate landlords can access renter information, keeping bad actors off the platform.
Attracts quality renters Renters trust Clara because they know their sensitive data (credit reports, background checks, income verification) is only accessible to verified, legitimate landlords.
Builds credibility Your verified status signals to renters that you're a professional, trustworthy landlord—helping you stand out in competitive markets.
Meets legal requirements Identity verification ensures Clara complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which protects both you and your applicants.
What the Verification Process Involves
Identity verification is quick and straightforward:
- Provide basic information (name, email, phone)
- Upload a government-issued ID (driver's license or state ID)
- Complete verification (typically processed within minutes)
When Does Verification Happen?
You'll be prompted to verify your identity when you first create your Clara landlord account and before you can view any renter applications. Once verified, you won't need to do it again.
Your Privacy Matters Too
Just as we protect renter data, we protect yours. Your verification information is securely encrypted and only used to confirm your identity. Clara never shares your personal information with third parties.
