Country brief

How identity verification works in Georgia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Georgian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting the growing fintech, crypto, and iGaming ecosystem in Tbilisi, document forgery on the biometric ID Card and legacy formats, and cross-border mule networks leveraging Georgia's open-economy banking environment and its position as a regional financial hub connecting EU, CIS, and Middle East corridors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law of Georgia on Facilitation of Prevention of Legalisation of Illegal Proceeds (2003, amended 2019)
  • Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection (2011)
  • Law of Georgia on Payment System and Payment Services
  • Law of Georgia on Securities Market
  • MONEYVAL Mutual Evaluation recommendations
  • EU Association Agreement (2016) — alignment with AMLD and GDPR principles
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Georgia.

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

    National Bank of Georgia — central bank and prudential supervisor for commercial banks, payment service providers, microfinance organisations, and Crypto-Asset Service Providers. Primary AML supervisor under the Law of Georgia on Facilitation of Prevention of Legalisation of Illegal Proceeds (2003, amended 2019).

  • FMS

    Financial Monitoring Service of Georgia — Georgia's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports and maintains the List of Sanctioned Persons under the AML Law (2003 as amended 2019). MONEYVAL reporting body.

  • GNCC

    Georgian National Communications Commission — supervises electronic-communications providers and digital-service operators. Relevant for identity-linked digital-service compliance and eKYC data-flow oversight.

  • PDPS

    Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia — supervisor of the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection (2011). Governs every identity verification on Georgian residents, including biometric data handling.

  • Revenue Service

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Georgia 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.

  • the biometric ID Card (with NFC chip read), Passport (with the chip read on e-Passports), Driver's Licence, Residence Card for foreign nationals, and Birth Certificate as supplementary proof.
  • Returns the name, personal identification number (PIK), date of birth, place of issue, and expiry.

04 · Registry

Bind every check to one audited session.

  • Georgia does not currently expose a public government consumer API open to third-party integrators — the Civil Registry Agency identity database and the Revenue Service PIK system do not publish a standalone database-validation endpoint for commercial use.
