How identity verification works in Chad.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Chadian identity fraud: synthetic-ID and deepfake attacks targeting BEAC-supervised mobile-money operators and microfinance institutions serving a predominantly rural unbanked population, CNI template forgery during the ongoing biometric document rollout across all 23 provinces, and AML pressure from Boko Haram-linked terror financing in the Lake Chad Basin under UN Security Council and OFAC designations. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Law No. 06/PR/2014 on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing in Chad
- CEMAC Regulation No. 01/03/CEMAC/UMAC/CM on prevention of money laundering
- BEAC and COBAC prudential standards for CEMAC-licensed banks
- GABAC 40 recommendations (FATF-style regional body for Central Africa)
- UN Security Council Resolution 2349 (2017), Lake Chad Basin security framework
- FATF 40 recommendations

Cross-check the identity at scale.
- There is no public government database validation API for Chad currently exposed as a standalone Didit service, the DGDSN civil registry does not currently offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
The OCR + biometric + AML stack is the authoritative BEAC/COBAC- and ANLUFT-compliant path today: the national identification number is OCR-parsed from the CNI, the face is matched against the portrait, and the AML stage screens the extracted name against every Chadian and GABAC/GIABA regional watchlist. Enterprise customers can talk to sales about registry-linkage options as BEAC-authorised data partners onboard.

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:

- Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup.
- Developer experience. Public docs, MCP server, and native SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes.
- User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second inference, 48+ languages.
- Flexibility. One API composes 25+ modules across KYC, KYB, Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening.
- AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session.
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, $0.20 per AML Screening, $0.10 per liveness, $0.05 per face match.
Pay-as-you-go, no minimums, no overage surprises.
Which Chadian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Two regional bodies govern every Chadian identity-verification flow:
- BEAC (Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale) and COBAC (Commission Bancaire de l'Afrique Centrale), regional central bank and prudential supervisor for banks and payment institutions across the CEMAC zone including Chad. Licensed entities must perform customer due diligence under CEMAC Regulation No. 01/03/CEMAC/UMAC/CM on prevention of money laundering.
- ANLUFT, Chad's Financial Intelligence Unit. Administers Law No. 06/PR/2014 on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing and receives Suspicious Transaction Reports.
Chad is also subject to GABAC mutual evaluation standards, the FATF-style regional body for Central Africa. Didit covers all in a single POST /v3/session/ workflow.

Yes, on every AML Screening call.
