Country brief

How identity verification works in Argentina.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Argentine identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-DNI attacks on the wave of fintech wallets and PSPCP-licensed payment providers (Mercado Pago, Ualá and the long tail), DNI document forgery across the legacy green-card and current tarjeta formats, and provincial iGaming pressure as Buenos Aires Province, CABA and Mendoza expand licensed online gambling. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 25.246 (PLA/FT)
  • Resolución UIF 14/2023 (Customer Due Diligence)
  • Ley 25.326 (Datos Personales)
  • BCRA Comunicación A 7724 (PSPCP onboarding)
  • CNV RG 994/2024 (VASP registration)
  • FATF 40 recommendations

FAQ

Common questions about Argentina.

What does Didit ship?

Didit is the infrastructure layer for identity and fraud. One Application Programming Interface (API), 25+ composable modules across four product lines:

  • User Verification (KYC, know your customer), Identity Document Verification, liveness, face match, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, Internet Protocol (IP) analysis. $0.33 per full bundle.
  • Business Verification (KYB, know your business), registry, Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO), officers, entity AML, plus a linked KYC session per UBO.
  • Transaction Monitoring, real-time rule engine, case management, Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) workflow.
  • Wallet Screening (KYT, know your transaction), on-chain wallet risk at $0.15 per check, or bring your own screening provider and run it inside Didit.

Compose any module into a workflow with the visual no-code builder, ship in 5 minutes, 500 verifications free every month, forever.

How is Didit different from a single-product Know Your Customer (KYC) vendor?

Most identity vendors sell one slice, a KYC check, an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) list, a wallet screen. Didit ships the infrastructure underneath all of them, and the gap shows up on six axes:

  • Pricing. Public price on every module, $0.33 for a full KYC, 500 verifications free every month, no minimums, no contracts. Single-product vendors hide six-figure minimums behind a sales call.
  • Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup. Single-product vendors gate the sandbox behind a contract, months to evaluate.
  • Developer experience. Public docs, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Claude Code and Cursor, and native Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes with an AI agent or in a working afternoon by hand.
  • User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second end-to-end inference, country-specialised capture flows, 48+ languages out of the box.
  • Flexibility. One /v3/ Application Programming Interface (API) composes 25+ modules across KYC, Know Your Business (KYB), Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening (KYT, know your transaction). A KYB session spawns a linked KYC for every Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO); a flagged transaction spawns a step-up KYC remediation, same session, same webhook contract, same audit trail. Single-product vendors sell one shape of KYC and stop there.
  • AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals scored on every session, deepfake, injection, synthetic-ID, document forgery, face-morph, device intelligence, replay. Single-product vendors treat deepfake and injection detection as roadmap items, not defaults.

Common in fintech and crypto, the same architecture fits marketplaces, iGaming, mobility, and any vertical where you need to know who someone is and what they are doing.

What does it cost? Is anything actually free?

500 verifications free every month, forever, on every account. No credit card. No sales call. No expiry.

Above the free tier, every module has a public per-success price on didit.me/pricing, $0.33 per full KYC bundle, $0.15 per Identity Document Verification, $0.15 per Wallet Screening, $0.20 per Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Screening, $0.10 per liveness, $0.05 per face match, $0.03 per Internet Protocol (IP) analysis.

Pay-as-you-go, no minimums, no overage surprises. Volume discounts kick in automatically as you grow.

Which Argentine regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Four sit on top of every Argentine identity-verification flow:

  • Banco Central de la República Argentina (BCRA), sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, EMIs and Proveedores de Servicios de Pago que ofrecen Cuentas de Pago (PSPCP) under Comunicación A 7724 and the broader Texto Ordenado de Prevención del Lavado de Activos.
  • Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV), securities and Virtual Asset Service Provider (PSAV) supervisor. Registers crypto exchanges under RG 994/2024.
  • Unidad de Información Financiera (UIF), Argentina's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under Ley 25.246 and Resolución UIF 14/2023 (Customer Due Diligence).
  • Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública (AAIP), supervises Ley 25.326 (Datos Personales). Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all four at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.

Does Didit cross-check Argentine identities against RENAPER?

Yes, via the `arg_renaper` Database Validation service with biometric face-match against the photo on file (POST /v3/database-validation/ with services=arg_renaper).

  • Source: Registro Nacional de las Personas (RENAPER), the authoritative Argentine civil registry.
  • Coverage: ~100% of the adult population.
  • Price: $0.20 per successful query, the cheapest authoritative-source check in LATAM.
  • Required inputs: document_number, selfie, gender.
  • Returns: identification_number, first_name, last_name, date_of_birth, face_match_score, tax_id, and bank-account history.

Two complementary services round out the surface: `arg_citizens` (AFIP, $1.84, ~90% coverage) and `arg_credit_bureau` ($2.15, ~90% coverage). All three are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/argentina/.

Is Didit ready for VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) registration under CNV RG 994/2024?

Yes. Argentina's CNV registered every crypto exchange and on-ramp operator as a Proveedor de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAV) under RG 994/2024, with mandatory KYC + AML controls per Resolución UIF 49/2024.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `arg_renaper` Database Validation with biometric face-match against the authoritative RENAPER photo, the source check UIF + CNV expect.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Argentine regulatory watchlists.
  • Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check for the on-chain exposure assessment Resolución UIF 49/2024 requires.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Argentina?

5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.

  • Sign up at business.didit.me, grab an API key, call POST /v3/session/ with a workflow_id that wires ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML + RENAPER database, done.
  • AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at docs.didit.me/integration/integration-prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin, Aider, or Replit Agent. The agent provisions the application, builds the workflow, wires the webhook, and runs a smoke test.
  • Five SDKs share the same session model: Web, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter.

The first 500 verifications every month are free, forever, pilot the full Argentina stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Argentine users?

Argentine Spanish, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Argentine users land on the Spanish flow by default. English is also live on the same flow for cross-border or expat users.

The document-recognition layer is decoupled from the UI layer, capture works in any language, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

What does the Argentina verification cost end-to-end?

Per-module public pricing, pay only for what runs on the session:

  • ID Verification, $0.15 per document check.
  • Passive Liveness, $0.10. Active Liveness, $0.15.
  • Face Match 1:1, $0.05. Face Search 1:N, free.
  • AML Screening, $0.20 per check. Ongoing AML, $0.07 per user / year.
  • `arg_renaper` (authoritative + face-match), $0.20 per successful query.
  • `arg_citizens` (AFIP), $1.84 per successful query.
  • `arg_credit_bureau`, $2.15 per successful query.

The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide, no Argentina surcharge. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card. Volume discounts auto-apply above the free tier; Enterprise adds a custom Master Services Agreement (MSA) and data-residency choice.
