How identity verification works in Belize.
- Fraud landscape
- Belize faces identity fraud pressures from its offshore IBC ecosystem, synthetic identities exploiting thin registry cross-check availability, and PEP exposure through the National Assembly, the Belize Police Department, and the Belize Defence Force networks. The Financial Services Commission warnings list adds an IBC-specific screening layer. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, deepfake, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Money Laundering and Terrorism (Prevention) Act, Chapter 104 (as amended 2019)
- International Business Companies Act, Chapter 270
- Banks and Financial Institutions Act, Chapter 263
- Data Protection Act 2021
- CFATF Mutual Evaluation 2022
- FATF Methodology 2022

Common questions about Belize.
What is Didit?
Didit is infrastructure for identity and fraud, the platform we wished existed when we were building products ourselves: open, flexible, and developer-friendly, so it works as a real part of your stack instead of a black box you integrate around.
One API covers verifying people (KYC, know your customer), verifying businesses (KYB, know your business), screening crypto wallets (KYT, know your transaction), and monitoring transactions in real time, on a stack built to be:
- Fast, sub-2-second p99 on every session
- Reliable, in production with 1,500+ companies across 220+ countries
- Secure, SOC 2 Type 1, ISO 27001, GDPR-native, and formally attested by Spain's financial regulator as safer than verifying someone in person
The footprint underneath: 14,000+ document types in 48+ languages, 1,000+ data sources, and 200+ fraud signals on every session. The Didit infrastructure dynamically learns from every session and gets better every day.
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.
Which regulators govern identity verification for digital onboarding in Belize?
Five authorities sit on top of every Belize identity-verification flow:
- Central Bank of Belize (CBB), sets KYC and AML onboarding requirements for domestic banks, credit unions, and money-services businesses under the Money Laundering and Terrorism (Prevention) Act (Chapter 104).
- Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of Belize, issues the Consolidated Belize Sanctions List and receives suspicious-transaction reports.
- International Financial Services Commission (IFSC), regulates IBCs, international banks, and financial-services licensees. Maintains the regulatory warnings list.
- Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), the FATF-style regional body for the Caribbean. Belize is subject to mutual evaluation.
- Immigration and Nationality Service, the civil-registry authority that issues the Belize National Identity Card and underpins document verification.
Didit ships the hosted flow + audit log + 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.
Is Didit ready for CBB-supervised KYC under the MLTP Act (Chapter 104)?
Yes. The Money Laundering and Terrorism (Prevention) Act (Chapter 104, as amended 2019) and CBB guidelines require every supervised institution, domestic bank, credit union, money-services business, to verify customer identity and screen for AML risk before onboarding.
Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:
- Identity Document Verification + Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Belizean watchlists, including the FIU Consolidated Belize Sanctions List, National Assembly PEP register, IFSC warnings.
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the MLTP Act periodic-review obligation.
Does Didit screen against the FIU Consolidated Belize Sanctions List?
Yes, the FIU Consolidated Belize Sanctions List is included in every AML screening check. The list is one of 1,300+ global sources screened in real time when you call POST /v3/session/ with the AML module enabled.
Screening is severity-scored: each hit surfaces the list name, match type (exact, fuzzy, alias), and the underlying record. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) re-checks your customer base daily and fires a webhook the moment a new hit appears, critical for MLTP Act ongoing-due-diligence obligations.
