How identity verification works in Norway.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Norwegian identity fraud: deepfake and injection attacks on the wave of neobank and crypto-exchange onboarding flows (Bitpanda Norge, NBX, Firi), document forgery against the Nasjonalt ID-kort polycarbonate format, and AML pressure on Oslo's high-density fintech cluster. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Hvitvaskingsloven (Norwegian Anti-Money Laundering Act)
- AMLD6 (via EEA agreement)
- MiCA (via EEA implementation)
- DORA (via EEA implementation)
- GDPR / Personopplysningsloven
- PSD2 (via EEA agreement)
- eIDAS 2.0 (via EEA implementation)

Common questions about Norway.
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 Norwegian regulators sit on top of a digital onboarding flow?
Four supervisors sit on every Norwegian identity-verification flow:
- Finanstilsynet, Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. Sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money institutions, and crypto-exchange and crypto-custody operators under Hvitvaskingsloven (the Norwegian Anti-Money Laundering Act), Norway's transposition of AMLD6 via the EEA agreement.
- Økokrim, National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime. Hosts Norway's Financial Intelligence Unit and receives every suspicious activity report.
- Datatilsynet, Norwegian Data Protection Authority. Supervises GDPR through the Personopplysningsloven (Personal Data Act).
- Lotteritilsynet, Norwegian Gambling Authority. Supervises licensed gambling operators with mandatory KYC + AML controls.
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 Norwegian identities against the Norwegian Register?
Yes, via the `nor_residential` Database Validation service (POST /v3/database-validation/ with services=nor_residential).
- Source: Norwegian Register service.
- Coverage: ~100% of the adult population.
- Price:
$2.42 per successful query. - Required inputs:
first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,address. - Returns:
address,first_name,last_name,full_name,date_of_birth,name_match_score.
A complementary service rounds out the surface: `nor_consumer` ($0.09, ~10% coverage) for soft-signal verification against an aggregated Norwegian consumer dataset. Both are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/norway/.
Is Didit ready for MiCA-licensed Norwegian crypto-exchange and crypto-custody operators?
Yes. Finanstilsynet supervises crypto-exchange and crypto-custody operators under Hvitvaskingsloven and MiCA (implemented via the EEA agreement) with mandatory KYC + AML controls.
Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:
- Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- `nor_residential` Database Validation against the Norwegian Register, the source check Finanstilsynet and Økokrim expect.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global 1,300+ pool plus Norwegian and EU watchlists.
- Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check for the on-chain exposure assessment MiCA + Travel Rule require.
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation under Hvitvaskingsloven.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Norway?
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 + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML + thenor_residentialdatabase check, 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 Norway stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Norwegian users?
Norwegian (Bokmål), auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Norwegian users land on the Norwegian 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 Norway verification cost end-to-end?
Per-module public pricing, pay only for what runs on the session:
- ID Verification,
$0.15per document check. - Passive Liveness,
$0.10. Active Liveness,$0.15. - Face Match 1:1,
$0.05. Face Search 1:N, free. - AML Screening,
