Common questions about Montenegro.
What is Didit?
Didit is infrastructure for identity and fraud, the platform we wished existed when we were building products ourselves: open, flexible, and developer-friendly, so it works as a real part of your stack instead of a black box you integrate around.
One API covers verifying people (KYC, know your customer), verifying businesses (KYB, know your business), screening crypto wallets (KYT, know your transaction), and monitoring transactions in real time, on a stack built to be:
- Fast, sub-2-second p99 on every session
- Reliable, in production with 1,500+ companies across 220+ countries
- Secure, SOC 2 Type 1, ISO 27001, GDPR-native, and formally attested by Spain's financial regulator as safer than verifying someone in person
The footprint underneath: 14,000+ document types in 48+ languages, 1,000+ data sources, and 200+ fraud signals on every session. The Didit infrastructure dynamically learns from every session and gets better every day.

Which Montenegrin regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Three regulators sit on every Montenegrin identity-verification flow:
- CBCG (Central Bank of Montenegro), sets Customer Due Diligence requirements under the Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing 2017 (as amended 2022).
- ASK (Agency for Prevention of Corruption), Montenegro's national FIU. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports from obligated entities.
- AZLP (Agency for Personal Data Protection), Montenegro's national DPA. Governs every identity verification on Montenegrin residents under the GDPR-aligned data protection law.
Didit ships the hosted flow + audit log + watchlist coverage to satisfy all three simultaneously.
Is there a government database validation API for Montenegrin identities?
No, Montenegro does not currently expose a public government consumer API open to third-party integrators for civil registry cross-checks.
Didit compensates with three complementary validation layers running in parallel:

- Biometric liveness + Face Match 1:1, the selfie is confirmed live and matched against the document portrait.
- AML screening, the extracted name is screened across 1,300+ global and Montenegrin watchlists (ASK, CBCG, MONEYVAL, OFAC, UN, Interpol).

Yes. Montenegro's Administration for Games of Chance requires identity verification and AML checks for all licensed operators under the Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing 2017.
Didit covers the full iGaming KYC stack:
