Please note, masks are recommended and all members and guests who attend a meeting or event at a SAG-AFTRA office will need to confirm that they have been vaccinated and have received at least one booster through the use of the CLEAR Health Pass. This is a free app available for you to download on your smartphone. You may recognize CLEAR as its services are used by travelers in most major U.S. airports; and the free CLEAR Health Pass is used to validate vaccination for entry to stadiums and venues across the country. 

Here are the easy steps to get set up with CLEAR’s Health Pass:

• Download the free CLEAR app to your mobile device and tap the white Health Pass tile.
• Select ‘Have a code?’ and enter SAGAFTRAOFFICE.
• Easily enroll with your government issued ID or if you are already a CLEAR member, verify your identity with a quick selfie.
• Follow the prompts to provide proof of vaccination. Please allow 24 hours for CLEAR to validate your information.
• Upon arrival at a SAG-AFTRA office, reopen the CLEAR Health Pass and show your pass at check-in. Green is good to go!

If you need additional help with the app, contact CLEAR’s Member Care team directly in the CLEAR app, by calling 1-855-CLEARME (1-855-253-2763), or through email at memberservices@clearme.com. For any other questions, you can contact SAG-AFTRA at info@sagaftra.org or (855) SAG-AFTRA.
