How identity verification works in Netherlands.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Dutch identity fraud: deepfake attacks on Amsterdam's neobank cluster and DNB-licensed crypto-asset service providers, sophisticated forgery of the verblijfsdocument residence card on the migration corridor, and identity-swap fraud on Dutch marketplaces and gig platforms (Bol, Marktplaats, Uber Eats). Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Wwft (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme)
- DNB Anti-Money Laundering Guidance
- AMLD6
- MiCA
- DORA
- GDPR / UAVG
- eIDAS 2.0

Common questions about Netherlands.
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 Dutch regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Five sit on top of every Dutch identity-verification flow:
- De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), central bank and prudential supervisor. Sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, payment institutions, EMIs and DNB-registered crypto-asset service providers under the Wwft (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme) and DNB Anti-Money Laundering Guidance.
- Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM), conduct supervisor for securities firms and MiCA-supervised crypto-asset service providers.
- Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), supervises GDPR + UAVG (Uitvoeringswet AVG) enforcement nationally.
- FIU-Nederland, Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives ongebruikelijke transacties reports under the Wwft.
- Belastingdienst, administers the Burgerservicenummer (BSN) and validates tax-ID for KYC onboarding.
Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all five 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 Dutch identities against residential data?
Yes, via the `nld_residential` Database Validation service (POST /v3/database-validation/ with services=nld_residential).
- Source: Authoritative Dutch residential address database.
- Coverage: >80% of the adult population.
- Price:
$0.59 per successful query. - Required inputs:
first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,address. Optionalnational_id(BSN) for higher-confidence matching. - Returns:
name_match_score,date_of_birth,address_match, fullverifications[]matrix.
A lighter `nld_consumer` ($0.08, ~20% coverage) lookup is also available. Both are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/netherlands/.
Is Didit ready for DNB-aligned Wwft Customer Due Diligence?
Yes. Every Customer Due Diligence (CDD) pillar under the Wwft (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme) maps to a Didit module on one Application Programming Interface (API):
- Identity Document Verification + Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- Nederlandse identiteitskaart + paspoort chip-read and OCR parsing, the source check DNB expects.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Dutch regulatory watchlists (Dutch National Sanction List, AFM Warnings).
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation under Art. 3 Wwft.
- KYB with Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) resolution + linked KYC per UBO for the Art. 3 Wwft beneficial-ownership pillar, Dutch UBO register (UBO-register at the Kamer van Koophandel) integrated.

mso_mdoc(EUDI Wallet format) and Selective Disclosure JSON Web Token Verifiable Credentials (SD-JWT-VC).

5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.
- Sign up at
business.didit.me, grab an API key, callPOST /v3/session/with aworkflow_idthat wires ID Verification + Passive Liveness + Face Match + AML + Residential database, done. - AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at
docs.didit.me/integration/integration-promptinto 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 Netherlands stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Dutch users?
Dutch, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Dutch users land on the Dutch flow by default. English, German, French, and Turkish are 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.
