Is clear in European airports?

Europe airports that offer Reserve by Clear Reserve by Clear is now available at the following airports in Europe: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) Frankfurt Airport (FRA)



As of early 2026, CLEAR is not widely available in European airports in the same way it operates across the United States. CLEAR is a private biometric identity platform that primarily partners with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to expedite the document-checking process at airport security. While the company has recently expanded its eligibility to include citizens from over 36 additional countries—including many European nations like France, Germany, and the UK—allowing them to enroll for use at U.S. airports, the physical kiosks are generally not found in Europe. European airports typically rely on their own government-run automated systems, such as e-Gates for biometric passport holders and various "Fast Track" services sold by airlines or airports. If you are a CLEAR member traveling to Europe, you will enjoy the benefits when departing from a participating U.S. hub, but you should expect to use standard or local expedited security lanes once you land in Europe.
