Start Every Tenant Screening with a Verified Identity

How Clara Verifies a Tenant's Identity in Minutes
Live ID Upload
Through Clara's secure site, applicants take a live photo of their government-issued ID, like a passport or driver's license. Our system starts checking the document for authenticity right away.
Biometric Selfie Match
A real-time selfie is analyzed for liveness, image quality, and face match with the ID photo. This phase verifies that the applicant's identification matches their physical presence.
Instant Verification Analysis
Within minutes, you have a verified result. Clara gives you total trust in your tenant screening procedure by immediately highlighting any red flags, such as inconsistent data or tampered documents.
Don't Just Trust a Name. Verify Every Tenant.
Fake identification is more accessible than ever in the modern digital environment. The fact that routine tenant screening frequently overlooks sophisticated identity fraud shocks many property managers.
Running background checks on the wrong person if identity isn't confirmed
Trusting screening results tied to a borrowed or stolen identity
Accepting tenants using someone else's rental history and credit score
Financial loss from unpaid rent and property damage
Clara ensures every prospective tenant is who they say they are — before you sign a lease.

Verified Income. Not Self-Reported.
Self-reported income has never been easy to trust, and AI tools can now generate convincing fake paystubs in seconds. Clara skips the guesswork and verifies income and employment directly at the source, so your decision rests on confirmed data, not a figure typed into a form.
Payroll connection: income and employment verified directly through the applicant's payroll provider
Bank connection: active income streams confirmed through secure open banking
Document verification: third-party-verified paystubs or W-2s when a direct connection isn't available
The result is an income figure you can act on with confidence, and a faster, fairer process for qualified applicants who no longer have to chase down and email sensitive paperwork.
