How identity verification works in Australia.
- Fraud landscape

Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- AML/CTF Act 2006 + AML/CTF Rules
- Privacy Act 1988 + Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
- APRA CPS 234 (Information Security)
- APRA CPS 231 (Outsourcing)

Common questions about Australia.
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 Australian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Five sit on top of every Australian identity-verification flow:
- AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre), administers the AML/CTF Act 2006 and AML/CTF Rules. Receives Suspicious Matter Reports and Threshold Transaction Reports.
- APRA (Australian Prudential Regulation Authority), prudential supervisor for banks, insurers, and superannuation funds. Sets CPS 234 (Information Security) and CPS 231 (Outsourcing) for vendor controls.
- ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission), corporate, markets, financial-services, and consumer-credit regulator. Administers the AFS licence regime.
- OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner), administers the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Notifiable Data Breaches scheme operator.
- AGD (Attorney-General's Department), operates the Document Verification Service (DVS / iDMatch) that authenticates every Australian credential type.
Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all five at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.
Does Didit run the DVS (iDMatch) authoritative-source cross-check?
Yes, for every Australian credential type the DVS exposes, on one POST /v3/database-validation/ shape:
- DVS Driver Licence (
aus_australia_driver_licence,$0.45, 100% coverage), all 8 state / territory templates. - DVS Passport (
aus_australia_passport,$0.45, 100%). - DVS Medicare Card (
aus_australia_medicare_card,$0.45, 100%). - DVS ImmiCard (
aus_immicard,$0.45, 100%), for refugees and humanitarian entrants without an overseas passport. - DVS Citizenship Certificate (
aus_citizenship_certificate,$0.45, 100%). - DVS Visa (
aus_australia_visa,$0.45, 100%) and VEVO (aus_vevo,$0.32, 100%) for the live visa-entitlement check. - DVS Centrelink Card (
aus_centrelink_card,$0.45, 100%). - DVS Birth / Marriage / Change-of-Name / Travel Document (
$0.04to$0.45per check) for the state Births, Deaths and Marriages registers.
All DVS services require user consent (the same consent AUSTRAC reporting entities already collect). Coverage is 100% on every credential because the DVS is the authoritative federal cross-check.
Is Didit AUSTRAC-ready for the Safe Harbour applicable customer identification procedure (ACIP)?
Yes. AUSTRAC's AML/CTF Rules Part 4 + Chapter 4 Safe Harbour ACIP require a reporting entity to verify customer identity from either a primary photographic identification document + matching secondary document, or electronically against two independent data sources.
Didit covers both paths on one workflow:
- Document path: capture the primary photographic credential (Driver Licence, Passport, ImmiCard) + DVS cross-check + Active Liveness + Face Match.
- Electronic path: combine DVS (one of 11 credential types) + Credit Bureau (
aus_credit_bureau,$0.70, ~75%) or Electoral Roll (aus_electoral_roll,$0.45, 100%) as the two independent data sources.
All Australian regulatory watchlists, DFAT Consolidated Sanctions, Australian National Security Listed Terrorist Organisations, AUSTRAC Infringement Notices, AUSTRAC Warnings, ASIC enforcement, flow into the same AML Screening call. The audit log is SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 attested.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Australia?
5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.
- Sign up at
business.didit.me, grab an API key, callPOST /v3/session/with aworkflow_idthat wires ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML + DVS Driver Licence + Electoral Roll, done. - AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at
docs.didit.me/integration/integration-promptinto 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 Australia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Australian users?
English (Australia), auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages, so any non-English-speaking resident lands on a localised flow in the language their device prefers; the Australian English flow is the default.
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 Australia verification cost end-to-end?
Per-module public pricing, pay only for what runs on the session:
- ID Verification,
$0.15per document check. - Passive Liveness,
$0.10. Active Liveness,$0.15. - Face Match 1:1,
$0.05. Face Search 1:N, free. - AML Screening,
$0.20per check (DFAT consolidated sanctions included). Ongoing AML,$0.07 per user / year. - DVS family (Driver Licence, Passport, Medicare, ImmiCard, Citizenship Certificate, Visa, Centrelink, Marriage / Change-of-Name / Travel Document), `$0.45` per successful query, 100% coverage, consent required.
- Other Australian datasets:
aus_birth_certificate$0.04,aus_death_check$0.05,aus_consumer$0.06,aus_phone$0.12,aus_personal_name_register$0.12,aus_citizens$0.30,aus_residential$0.32,aus_vevo$0.32,aus_superannuation_payroll$0.67,aus_credit_bureau$0.70,aus_tenancy_register$0.84.
The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide, no Australia 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.
