The CLAS12 RICH detector installed in the Hall B of the Jefferson Laboratory has been designated to provide clean kaon identification in the momentum range from 3 to 8 GeV/c. The detector adopted a novel hybrid design, with aerogel radiator, a system of planar and spherical mirrors and a highly segmented readout system based on multi-anode photomultipliers. We present here the status of the detector and its performance after a few years of operation.
