Common questions about Honduras.
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 Honduras?
Four authorities sit on top of every Honduran identity-verification flow:
- Comisión Nacional de Bancos y Seguros (CNBS), sets KYC and AML onboarding requirements for banks, cooperativas, and fintech lenders under Decreto 144-2014 (Ley Contra el Lavado de Activos).
- Unidad de Información Financiera (UIF), Honduras's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Operaciones Sospechosas and coordinates with the Ministerio Público.
- Banco Central de Honduras (BCH), central bank. Oversees the payment system and electronic-money operator licensing.
- Registro Nacional de las Personas (RNP), civil-registry authority that issues the DNI and underpins the
hnd_dnidatabase validation.
Didit ships the hosted flow + audit log + 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.
Does Didit cross-check Honduran identities against the RNP registry?
Yes, via the `hnd_dni` Database Validation service (POST /v3/database-validation/):
- `hnd_dni`, hits the Registro Nacional de las Personas (RNP) directly.
$0.20 per successful query, no end-user consent required. Input:document_number(exactly 13 digits, no hyphens). Returnsidentification_number,first_name,last_name,full_name,document_type.
Is Didit ready for CNBS-supervised KYC under Decreto 144-2014?
Yes. Decreto 144-2014 (Ley Contra el Lavado de Activos) and its implementing rules require every CNBS-supervised entity, bank, cooperative, insurance, fintech lender, to verify customer identity against the civil registry 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.
- `hnd_dni` Database Validation against RNP, the authoritative source CNBS expects.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Honduran regulatory watchlists (CNBS sanctions, UIF enforcement lists, ONCAE procurement exclusions, Ministry of Interior PEP registers).
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the Decreto 144-2014 periodic-review obligation.
How long does it take to integrate Didit for Honduras?
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 + Passive Liveness + Face Match + AML + RNP database, done. - AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at
docs.didit.me/integration/integration-promptinto 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 Honduras stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Honduran users?
Honduran Spanish, auto-detected from the user's browser or device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Honduran users land on the Spanish flow by default. English is also live on the same flow for cross-border, expat, or US-diaspora 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 Honduras 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. - `hnd_dni` (RNP civil registry),
$0.20per successful query.
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.
