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.

Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Czechia.

These are the supervisors a Czechia verification flow has to answer to. One Didit hosted flow + one audit log covers every one of them — no separate integration per agency.
  • ČNB

    Česká národní banka — the unified prudential supervisor for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money issuers, securities firms, insurers, and Crypto-Asset Service Providers under MiCA.

  • FAÚ

    Finanční analytický úřad — the Czech Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports under Zákon 253/2008 (AML Act) and AMLD6.

  • ÚOOÚ

    Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů — General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) supervisor under Zákon 110/2019. Governs every identity verification on Czech residents.

  • ÚOHS

    Úřad pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže — Czech Office for the Protection of Competition. Sets the competition + public-procurement framework, including digital-services scrutiny.

  • Finanční správa

    Czech tax administration. Issues DIČ (tax identification numbers) and runs the Daňová evidence registry referenced by KYB onboarding.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Czechia database cross-check — composed on one workflow, billed per success, returned in one report.
01 · ID

Capture and read the ID.

Captured on any phone — auto-classified, OCR-parsed, and template-verified.

  • občanský průkaz (the chip-enabled eOP and the legacy formats still in circulation), cestovní pas (with the chip read on e-Passports), řidičský průkaz, and povolení k pobytu for non-EU residents.
  • Returns the name, rodné číslo, date of birth, place of birth, and expiry.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against the Czech residential registry.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.
