How identity verification works in Belgium.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Belgian identity fraud: synthetic-identity attacks on Brussels and Antwerp neobank clusters, sophisticated forgery of the verblijfskaart residence card on the migration corridor, and identity-swap fraud on Belgian iGaming platforms supervised by the Kansspelcommissie / Commission des jeux de hasard. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Belgian Anti-Money Laundering Act of 18 September 2017
- NBB AML Circular
- AMLD6
- MiCA
- DORA
- GDPR / Belgian Data Protection Act
- eIDAS 2.0

Common questions about Belgium.
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 Belgian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Five sit on top of every Belgian identity-verification flow:
- Nationale Bank van België / Banque Nationale de Belgique (NBB), central bank and prudential supervisor. Sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, payment institutions, EMIs and crypto-asset service providers under the Belgian Anti-Money Laundering Act of 18 September 2017 and NBB AML Circular.
- Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), conduct supervisor for securities firms and MiCA-supervised crypto-asset service providers.
- Autorité de protection des données / Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit (APD/GBA), supervises GDPR + the Belgian Data Protection Act enforcement nationally.
- CTIF-CFI (Cellule de Traitement des Informations Financières / Cel voor Financiële Informatieverwerking), Belgium's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports under the Belgian AML Act.
- Federal Public Service Finance, administers Belgium's tax-ID (Numéro de Registre National / Rijksregisternummer).
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 cross-check Belgian identities against residential and utility data?
Yes, via three Database Validation services (POST /v3/database-validation/).
- `bel_consumer`, Lead-generation consumer database. ~20% coverage,
$0.03 per successful query. Inputs:first_name,last_name,date_of_birth. - `bel_residential`, Authoritative Belgian residential address database. >50% coverage,
$0.37 per successful query. Inputs:first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,address. - `bel_utility`, Belgian utility-provider address + phone database. >60% coverage,
$0.04 per successful query. Inputs:first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,address,phone.
All three are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/belgium/.
Is Didit ready for NBB-aligned Belgian AML Act Customer Due Diligence?
Yes. Every Customer Due Diligence (CDD) pillar under the Belgian Anti-Money Laundering Act of 18 September 2017 maps to a Didit module on one Application Programming Interface (API):
- Identity Document Verification + Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- Belgian eID + passport chip-read and OCR parsing, the source check NBB expects.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Belgian regulatory watchlists (FPS Finance Consolidated List, National Financial Sanctions).
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation.
- KYB with Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) resolution + linked KYC per UBO for the Belgian UBO register (UBO-register at the FPS Finance) beneficial-ownership pillar.

mso_mdoc(EUDI Wallet format) and Selective Disclosure JSON Web Token Verifiable Credentials (SD-JWT-VC).

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 + Passive Liveness + Face Match + AML + Residential database, 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 Belgium stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Belgian users?
Dutch, French, and German, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale, matching Belgium's three official languages. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; English and Turkish are 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 Belgium verification cost end-to-end?

- ID Verification,
$0.15per document check. - Passive Liveness,
