How identity verification works in Libya.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Libyan identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting CBL-licensed banks and money transfer operators operating cross-border payment corridors, National ID Card template forgery amid the ongoing transition between legacy and biometric document generations, and AML pressure from UN Security Council Resolution 1970 asset-freeze designations and OFAC Libya sanctions programmes. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Law No. 1 of 2008 on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism
- Law No. 1 of 2005 on Banking
- UN Security Council Resolution 1970 (2011), Libya sanctions regime
- UN Security Council Resolution 1973 (2011), arms embargo and asset freeze
- MENAFATF 40 recommendations (FATF-style regional body)
- EU Council Regulation (EU) No. 204/2011, Libya restrictive measures

Cross-check the identity at scale.
- There is no public government database validation API for Libya currently exposed as a standalone Didit service, the Civil Register Authority does not currently offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
The OCR + biometric + AML stack is the authoritative CBL- and AMLCU-compliant path today: the National Identification Number is OCR-parsed from the National ID Card, the face is matched against the portrait, and the AML stage screens the extracted name against every Libyan and international watchlist. Enterprise customers can talk to sales about registry-linkage options as they become available.

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:
- Pricing. Public price on every module, $0.33 for a full KYC, 500 verifications free every month, no minimums, no contracts.
- Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup.
- Developer experience. Public docs, MCP server, and native SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes.
- User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second inference, 48+ languages with full right-to-left support.
- Flexibility. One API composes 25+ modules across KYC, KYB, Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening.
- AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session.
What does it cost? Is anything actually free?
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, $0.20 per AML Screening, $0.10 per liveness, $0.05 per face match.
Pay-as-you-go, no minimums, no overage surprises.
Which Libyan regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Two bodies govern every Libyan identity-verification flow:
- Central Bank of Libya (Al-Marqazi), primary financial supervisor for banks, money transfer operators, and payment institutions under Law No. 1 of 2005 on Banking. CBL-licensed entities must perform customer due diligence on onboarding.
- Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Combating Unit (AMLCU), Libya's Financial Intelligence Unit. Administers Law No. 1 of 2008 on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism and maintains domestic AML designations.
Libya's UN Security Council 1970 sanctions regime also applies directly, all obliged entities must screen against the UN 1970 Committee asset-freeze list. Didit covers all three requirements in a single POST /v3/session/ workflow.
Does Didit screen against UN Security Council Libya sanctions?
Yes, on every AML Screening call.
- Didit screens against 1,300+ global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists.
- Plus Libya-specific lists: UN Security Council 1970 Committee asset-freeze and travel-ban designations, OFAC SDN Libya programme, and EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List Libya measures.
- AML Screening costs
$0.20per check; Ongoing AML monitoring costs$0.07 per user / yearand re-checks daily, what AMLCU-obliged institutions need for continuous monitoring under Law No. 1 of 2008.
