How identity verification works in Italy.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Italian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-CIE attacks on Milan's neobank cluster and OAM-registered VASPs, sophisticated forgery of the Permesso di Soggiorno residence permit on the Mediterranean migration corridor, and identity-swap fraud on the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM)-licensed iGaming market. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- D.Lgs. 231/2007 (Italian AML Decree)

- OAM Registry (VASP)
- AMLD6
