Identity verification
built for Japan

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.

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.

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, $0.15 per Wallet Screening, $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.

Four sit on top of every Japanese identity-verification flow:

• Financial Services Agency (FSA), integrated financial supervisor. Sets remote-onboarding rules under the Banking Act and the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds (APTCP, 犯罪収益移転防止法). APTCP article 6 defines the lawful eKYC methods, Didit covers the ホ method (selfie + photo-ID).
• Japan Financial Intelligence Center (JAFIC), Japan's FIU, housed in the National Police Agency. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under APTCP.
• Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC), supervises the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI). Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.
• Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), governs e-commerce identity rules and the Specified Commercial Transactions Act.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the 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.

Yes, natively. APTCP article 6 sets the lawful eKYC methods recognised by the FSA. The ホ method is selfie + photo-ID, exactly what Didit ships as Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 on the hosted flow.

• Identity Document Verification, captures the My Number Card / Driver's Licence / Japanese Passport / Residence Card, reads every field, validates document authenticity.
• Active Liveness, confirms the user is physically present (turns / blinks / smile prompts), not a deepfake or a printed photo.
• Face Match 1:1, confirms the live selfie matches the document portrait.

The full bundle is `$0.33` per session, same anchor price worldwide. The combined JSON report is what an FSA-supervised institution submits as evidence of APTCP article 6 ホ method compliance.

Not today, and no provider does. My Number lookups are restricted by the My Number Act to specific government-authorised use cases (tax, social-security, disaster-relief), and the J-LIS register is not exposed as a consumer-grade API to private-sector vendors.

What Didit covers today:

• My Number Card capture + IC chip read + OCR, full field extraction including the 12-digit My Number and address.
• Document authenticity check, confirms the card is genuine, not a forgery or screen capture.
• Face Match against the photo on the card, biometric proof of cardholder presence.
• APTCP article 6 ホ method coverage, the eKYC pathway FSA-supervised institutions actually use.

If a counterparty needs the My Number itself validated against J-LIS, that has to go through one of the public-sector intermediaries the My Number Act recognises, outside the scope of any commercial KYC platform.

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 + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML, done. That bundle already satisfies APTCP article 6 ホ method (selfie + photo-ID).
• 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 Japan stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

Japanese, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Japanese users land on the Japanese flow by default. English is also live on the same flow for cross-border or expat users.

The document-recognition layer is decoupled from the UI layer, kanji, hiragana, katakana names on the My Number Card / Driver's Licence / Residence Card are preserved verbatim through OCR alongside the Romaji transliteration, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

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, no Japan surcharge. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card. Volume discounts auto-apply above the free tier; Enterprise adds a custom Master Services Agreement (MSA) and data-residency choice.
