How identity verification works in Iraq.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Iraqi identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting CBI-licensed mobile-money operators and payment service providers, National ID Card template forgery during the ongoing biometric INSAF rollout across all 18 governorates, and AML pressure from AMCT-designated entities and OFAC Iraq-sanctions programmes. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Anti-Money Laundering Law No. 39 of 2015
- Central Bank of Iraq Law No. 56 of 2004
- Banks Law No. 94 of 2004
- Counter-Terrorism Law No. 13 of 2005
- UN Security Council Resolution 1373 (counter-terrorism financing)
- MENAFATF 40 recommendations (FATF-style regional body)

Cross-check the identity at scale.
- There is no public government database validation API for Iraq currently exposed as a standalone Didit service — the AMCT Office and Ministry of Interior civil registry do not currently offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
The OCR + biometric + AML stack is the authoritative CBI-compliant path today: the civil record number is OCR-parsed from the INSAF card, the face is matched against the portrait, and the AML stage screens the extracted name against every Iraqi regulatory watchlist. Enterprise customers can talk to sales about emerging registry-linkage options as CBI-authorised data partners onboard.
