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

FAQ

Common questions about Georgia.

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 Georgian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

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

  • National Bank of Georgia (NBG), central bank and prudential supervisor for banks, payment service providers, 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).
  • Financial Monitoring Service of Georgia (FMS), Georgia's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports and maintains the List of Sanctioned Persons under the AML Law (2003, amended 2019).
  • Personal Data Protection Service (PDPS), supervisor of the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection (2011). Governs how verification data is captured, stored, and disclosed.
  • Revenue Service of Georgia, manages the personal identification number (PIK) and business registration systems used in KYB and treasury compliance.

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.

Is Georgia on the FATF or MONEYVAL monitoring list?

Georgia is a MONEYVAL member (Council of Europe's AML/CFT monitoring body) and is assessed against the FATF 40 Recommendations standard. MONEYVAL's mutual evaluations set the expectations for every obliged entity, banks, payment service providers, and crypto platforms, operating in Georgia.

Didit addresses this directly:

  • AML screening includes the FMS List of Sanctioned Persons, NBG Sanctions, MONEYVAL high-risk jurisdiction signals, UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions, OFAC SDN, and EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions.
  • Ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) fires a webhook the moment a user appears on any new list, no manual re-check required.
  • The full audit log satisfies the documentation obligations FMS supervisors expect under the Law of Georgia on Facilitation of Prevention of Legalisation of Illegal Proceeds (2003, amended 2019).
Is Didit ready for an NBG payment service provider licence in Georgia?

Yes. The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) licences every Payment Service Provider and Electronic-Money Institution in Georgia, and every entity must run full Customer Due Diligence under the Law of Georgia on Facilitation of Prevention of Legalisation of Illegal Proceeds (2003, amended 2019).

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus every Georgian regulatory watchlist (FMS List of Sanctioned Persons, NBG Sanctions, NBG PEP registers, EU Consolidated Sanctions, OFAC SDN, UN, MONEYVAL).
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation.

One audited session, one JSON report, one webhook contract, ready for the NBG + FMS dual-supervisor model.

How long does it take to integrate Didit in Georgia?

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, 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 Georgia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Georgian, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Georgian users land on the Georgian flow by default. English, Russian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani are also live on the same flow for cross-border and minority 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 Georgia 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.

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