Country brief

How identity verification works in Czechia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Two pressures shape Czech identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-občanský průkaz attacks on the wave of MiCA-licensed Crypto-Asset Service Providers and ČNB-supervised payment institutions, and cross-border forgery pressure as Czech banks onboard Ukrainian and Slovak residents under AMLD6 mutual recognition. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Zákon 253/2008 (AML Act)
  • AMLD6
  • MiCA
  • DORA
  • GDPR / Zákon 110/2019
  • eIDAS 2.0
  • EU Reg. 2019/1157 (eOP)

FAQ

Common questions about Czechia.

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 Czech regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Four sit on top of every Czech identity-verification flow:

  • Česká národní banka (ČNB), the unified prudential supervisor for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money issuers, securities firms, insurers, and Crypto-Asset Service Providers under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Sets remote-onboarding requirements under the AML Act and ČNB Decrees.
  • Finanční analytický úřad (FAÚ), the Czech Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports under Zákon 253/2008 (AML Act) and the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive 6 (AMLD6).
  • Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (ÚOOÚ), supervises the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Zákon 110/2019. Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.
  • Úřad pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže (ÚOHS), Czech Office for the Protection of Competition. Issues warnings + sanctions referenced in AML screening.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the 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 Czech identities against an authoritative registry?

Yes, via two Database Validation services on POST /v3/database-validation/.

  • `cze_republic_residential` ($0.95, ~35% coverage), hits the combined data source of public authority registers. First-pass proof-of-address check, no consent required.
  • `cze_republic_residential_2` ($2.14, ~50% coverage), hits the property ownership registers. Deeper authoritative-source check ČNB-supervised entities use for elevated-assurance flows.

Both services are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/czechia/. The občanský průkaz itself is captured + OCR-parsed + chip-read on the same session via the Identity Document Verification module.

Is Didit ready for a MiCA Crypto-Asset Service Provider authorisation in the Czech Republic?

Yes. The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is enforced by ČNB in the Czech Republic, every Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) must run full Customer Due Diligence under the AML Act.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `cze_republic_residential_2` Database Validation for the authoritative-source residential check.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Czech regulatory watchlists.
  • Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check for the on-chain exposure assessment MiCA + the Transfer of Funds Regulation require.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation under Zákon 253/2008.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in the Czech Republic?

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 + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML + Czech residential 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 Czech Republic stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Czech, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Czech users land on the Czech flow by default. English, Slovak, German, and Ukrainian 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 Czech Republic 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.
  • `cze_republic_residential`, $0.95 per successful query.
  • `cze_republic_residential_2` (property registry), $2.14 per successful query.

The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide, no Czech Republic 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.
