Country brief

How identity verification works in Haiti.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Haiti faces CIN forgery driven by diaspora remittance-account access, synthetic-identity fraud in mobile-money onboarding, and elevated PEP risk from the Chamber of Representatives network and local government authorities. The Haitian National Police wanted list adds an additional enforcement-screening dimension unique to the jurisdiction. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, deepfake, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Loi Anti-Blanchiment, Loi sur le Blanchiment de Capitaux (2001)
  • BRH Directive 14, Know Your Customer and AML requirements for licensed institutions
  • Loi du 21 juin 2020, Loi sur la lutte contre le Blanchiment de Capitaux et le Financement du Terrorisme
  • Décret du 8 novembre 2013, sur la protection des données personnelles
  • CFATF Mutual Evaluation 2022
  • FATF Methodology 2022

FAQ

Common questions about Haiti.

What is Didit?

Didit is infrastructure for identity and fraud, the platform we wished existed when we were building products ourselves: open, flexible, and developer-friendly, so it works as a real part of your stack instead of a black box you integrate around.

One API covers verifying people (KYC, know your customer), verifying businesses (KYB, know your business), screening crypto wallets (KYT, know your transaction), and monitoring transactions in real time, on a stack built to be:

  • Fast, sub-2-second p99 on every session
  • Reliable, in production with 1,500+ companies across 220+ countries
  • Secure, SOC 2 Type 1, ISO 27001, GDPR-native, and formally attested by Spain's financial regulator as safer than verifying someone in person

The footprint underneath: 14,000+ document types in 48+ languages, 1,000+ data sources, and 200+ fraud signals on every session. The Didit infrastructure dynamically learns from every session and gets better every day.

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.

Which regulators govern identity verification for digital onboarding in Haiti?

Five authorities sit on top of every Haitian identity-verification flow:

  • Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH), central bank and prudential supervisor for banks and electronic-money institutions. Sets KYC and AML onboarding requirements under the Loi Anti-Blanchiment (2001) and BRH Directive 14.
  • Unité Centrale de Renseignements Financiers (UCREF), Haiti's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives suspicious-transaction reports.
  • Office National d'Identification (ONI), civil-registry authority that issues the CIN and maintains the authoritative identity database.
  • Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), the FATF-style regional body. Haiti is subject to mutual evaluation and enhanced follow-up.
  • Haitian National Police (HNP), maintains the wanted-persons registry relevant to AML and fraud-screening flows.

Didit ships the hosted flow + audit log + watchlist coverage to satisfy all five at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.

Is Didit ready for BRH-supervised KYC under the Loi du 21 juin 2020?

Yes. The Loi du 21 juin 2020 sur la lutte contre le Blanchiment de Capitaux et le Financement du Terrorisme and BRH Directive 14 require every supervised institution, bank, money-transfer operator, electronic-money institution, to verify customer identity and screen for AML risk before onboarding.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Haitian watchlists (BRH sanctions, UCREF enforcement lists, Chamber of Representatives PEP register, HNP warnings).
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation under the Loi 2020.
What languages does Didit support for Haitian users?

French and Haitian Creole, auto-detected from the user's browser or device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Haitian users land on French or Creole by default. English is also live on the same flow for diaspora users accessing services from the US, Canada, or Europe.

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.

How long does it take to integrate Didit for Haiti?

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 + Passive 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 Haiti stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

What does the Haiti 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. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card. Volume discounts auto-apply above the free tier.
