How identity verification works in Denmark.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Danish identity fraud: deepfake and injection attacks on Copenhagen's neobank and crypto cluster (Lunar, Coinify, Saxo), document forgery against the Danish driving licence and residence permit, and AML pressure on the high-velocity Nordic-Baltic payments corridor. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Hvidvaskloven (Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act)
- AMLD6
- MiCA
- DORA
- GDPR / Danish Data Protection Act
- PSD2
- eIDAS 2.0

Cross-check against the Danish Civil Registration system.
Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.
- The Civil Registration check (
dnk_national_id,$1.39, ~100% coverage) is the authoritative-source CPR lookup with name + DOB + national-ID cross-check. - The Combined-records check (
dnk_consumer_2,$0.97, ~50% coverage) hits a combined dataset of consumer, telephone, and utility records — useful for proof-of-address-grade onboarding. - The Consumer check (
dnk_consumer,$0.09, ~10% coverage) hits an aggregated consumer dataset for soft-signal verification.
