How identity verification works in Guinea.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Guinean identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on the fast-growing mobile-money operators and digital-banking platforms, Carte Nationale d'Identité forgery amid the ongoing civil-registry modernisation programme, and AML pressure on the mining-sector financial flows that pass through Conakry's banking system. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- AML/CFT Law L/2012/N°01 (Guinea, 2012)
- BCRG Instruction on KYC and customer due diligence for banks and EMIs
- GIABA mutual-evaluation framework
- ECOWAS AML/CFT regional directives
- FATF 40 recommendations

Common questions about Guinea.
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.
- Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup.
- Developer experience. Public docs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and native SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes.
- User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second inference, country-specialised capture flows, 48+ languages.
- Flexibility. One
/v3/API composes 25+ modules across KYC, KYB, Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening. - AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals, deepfake, injection, synthetic-ID, document forgery, face-morph, device intelligence, replay.
Common in fintech and mining-sector payments, the same architecture fits marketplaces, mobile-money, 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, $0.20 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 Guinean regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Three sit on top of every Guinean identity-verification flow:
- Banque Centrale de la République de Guinée (BCRG), central bank and supervisor. Sets KYC and AML requirements for banks, microfinance institutions, and mobile-money operators.
- CENTIF, Guinea's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under AML/CFT Law L/2012/N°01.
- GIABA, the West Africa FATF-style regional body. Guinea is a full member; GIABA mutual evaluations set the compliance baseline every Guinean regulated entity must meet.
Didit ships the hosted flow + audit log + watchlist coverage to satisfy all three at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.
Which Guinean watchlists does the AML stage screen against?
Every named Guinean regulatory body + adverse-media signal, on top of the global pool of 1,300+ sanctions, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), and adverse-media sources:
- National Assembly of Guinea (PEP Level 1).
- EAGLE Network (Guinea), SIP adverse-media register.
- CENTIF Guinea, STR enforcement register.
- GIABA, West Africa regional watchlist.
The full list is documented at docs.didit.me/core-technology/aml-screening/watchlist-database-aml-screening. Turn on ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation CENTIF expects.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Guinea?
5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.
- Sign up at
business.didit.me, grab an API key, callPOST /v3/session/with aworkflow_idthat wires ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML, done. - AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at
docs.didit.me/integration/integration-promptinto Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin, or Replit Agent. - 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 Guinea stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Guinean users?
French, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Guinean users land on French by default (the sole official language and the language of all formal documentation).
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 Guinea verification cost end-to-end?
Per-module public pricing, pay only for what runs on the session:
- ID Verification,
$0.15per document check. - Passive Liveness,
$0.10. Active Liveness,$0.15. - Face Match 1:1,
$0.05. Face Search 1:N, free. - AML Screening,
$0.20per 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 Guinea surcharge. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card.
