Country brief

How identity verification works in Mexico.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Mexican identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-CURP attacks on the wave of newly licensed Instituciones de Tecnología Financiera (ITF) and SPEI-enabled wallets, INE Credencial para Votar forgery across the G/H/I generations in circulation, and AML pressure on cross-border remittance corridors with the United States. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley FinTech (LRITF)
  • CNBV Disposiciones de Carácter General
  • Ley FPIORPI (vulnerable activities)
  • LFPDPPP (data protection)
  • FATF 40 recommendations
  • SPEI scheme rules
Regulators

FAQ

Common questions about Mexico.

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.

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, $0.15 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.

Which Mexican regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

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

  • Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV), sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, securities firms, broker-dealers and Instituciones de Tecnología Financiera (ITF) under the Disposiciones de Carácter General and Ley FinTech (LRITF).
  • Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF), Mexico's Financial Intelligence Unit, under the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports under Ley FPIORPI and Ley FinTech.
  • Instituto Nacional de Transparencia, Acceso a la Información y Protección de Datos Personales (INAI), supervises the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales (LFPDPPP). Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.
  • Banco de México, sets payment-institution and SPEI participation rules, plus electronic-money regulation.

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.

Does Didit cross-check Mexican identities against the RENAPO registry?

Yes, via three Database Validation services on POST /v3/database-validation/.

  • `mex_curp` ($0.20), RENAPO CURP status, gender, date of birth and place of birth via the Didit Mexico identity provider. Low-cost first-pass gate. No consent required.
  • `mex_national_id` ($0.24, ~100% coverage), RENAPO name + date of birth + CURP authoritative-source match. The check CNBV expects for full CDD.
  • `mex_residential` ($0.29, ~50% coverage), address cross-checked against Mexican telco billing records, useful for proof-of-address on SPEI account opening.

All three services are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/mexico/. Pay-per-success, no contracts.

Is Didit Ley FinTech ready for an ITF licence onboarding?

Yes. Mexico's Ley para Regular las Instituciones de Tecnología Financiera (Ley FinTech) Customer Due Diligence requirements map 1:1 to Didit modules on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `mex_curp` + `mex_national_id` RENAPO Database Validation, the authoritative-source check CNBV expects.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Mexican regulatory watchlists (Government of Mexico Consolidated Sanctions, Bank of Mexico Financial Sanctions, MXSAT, CNSF).
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation, plus a UIF Suspicious Activity Report evidence pack on every hit.

Same modules cover the Ley FPIORPI vulnerable-activities reporting regime.

How long does it take to integrate Didit in Mexico?

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 + RENAPO database, done.
  • 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 Mexico stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Mexican users?

Mexican Spanish, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Mexican users land on the Spanish 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, capture works in any language, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

What does the Mexico verification cost end-to-end?

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.
  • `mex_curp`, $0.20 per successful query.
  • `mex_national_id` (RENAPO), $0.24 per successful query.
  • `mex_residential`, $0.29 per successful query.

The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide, no Mexico 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.
