Country brief

How identity verification works in Bolivia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Bolivia faces document forgery pressure on the Carnet de Identidad, synthetic-identity fraud tied to the expansion of mobile-money wallets, and informal-economy cash flows that complicate KYC for licensed cooperativas and fintech lenders. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 393/2013 (Ley de Servicios Financieros)
  • Ley 1040/2018 (Ley Anti-Lavado de Dinero, ALD/CFT)
  • Decreto Supremo 26052/2001 (Reglamento de Control de Legitimación de Ganancias Ilícitas)
  • GAFILAT 40 Recommendations
  • FATF Methodology 2022

FAQ

Common questions about Bolivia.

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 Bolivia?

Four authorities sit on top of every Bolivian identity-verification flow:

  • Autoridad de Supervisión del Sistema Financiero (ASFI), sets KYC and AML onboarding requirements for banks, cooperativas, fintechs, and securities firms under Ley 393/2013 (Ley de Servicios Financieros).
  • Unidad de Investigaciones Financieras (UIF), Bolivia's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under Ley 1040/2018 (Ley Anti-Lavado).
  • Banco Central de Bolivia (BCB), central bank, oversees electronic-payment operators and mobile-money licensing.
  • Servicio General de Identificación Personal (SEGIP), civil-registry authority that issues the Carnet de Identidad and underpins the bol_cedula database validation.

Didit ships the hosted flow + audit log + 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 Bolivian identities against the SEGIP registry?

Yes, via the `bol_cedula` Database Validation service (POST /v3/database-validation/):

  • `bol_cedula`, hits the Servicio General de Identificación Personal (SEGIP) directly. $0.20 per successful query, no end-user consent required. Inputs: document_number (6–10 digits, no hyphens) + date_of_birth. Returns identification_number, first_name, last_name, full_name, date_of_birth.
Is Didit ready for ASFI-supervised KYC under Ley 393/2013?

Yes. Ley 393/2013 (Ley de Servicios Financieros) and its UIF implementing rules under Ley 1040/2018 require every ASFI-supervised entity, bank, cooperativa, fintech, electronic-payment operator, to verify customer identity against the civil registry 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.
  • `bol_cedula` Database Validation against SEGIP, the authoritative source ASFI expects.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Bolivian regulatory watchlists (ASFI/BOASFI sanctions, SEGIP PEP registers, BCB officials, UIF reporting lists).
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the Ley 1040/2018 periodic-review obligation.
How long does it take to integrate Didit for Bolivia?

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 + Passive Liveness + Face Match + AML + SEGIP 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 Bolivia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Bolivian Spanish, auto-detected from the user's browser or device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Bolivian 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 Bolivia 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.
  • `bol_cedula` (SEGIP civil registry), $0.20 per successful query.

The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card. Volume discounts auto-apply above the free tier.
