Country brief

How identity verification works in Peru.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Peruvian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-DNI attacks on the wave of digital wallets (Yape, Plin, Tunki, Ligo) and the SBS-licensed E-money Issuer regime, DNI document forgery across the legacy and chip formats, and iGaming pressure as MINCETUR (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo) licenses online sports-betting and casino operators under Ley 31.557. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 27.693 (PLA/FT)
  • Resolución SBS 369-2018 (CDD)
  • Ley 29.733 (Datos Personales)
  • Ley 31.557 (online gambling)
  • Ley 31.572 EMI
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

FAQ

Common questions about Peru.

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 Peruvian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Three sit on top of every Peruvian identity-verification flow:

  • Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP (SBS), sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, microfinance, insurance and Empresas Emisoras de Dinero Electrónico (EMI) under Resolución SBS 369-2018 (Customer Due Diligence).
  • Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera del Perú (UIF), Peru's Financial Intelligence Unit, sits within the SBS. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under Ley 27.693.
  • Autoridad Nacional de Protección de Datos Personales (ANPD), supervises Ley 29.733 (Datos Personales). Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all three 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 Peruvian identities against RENIEC?

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

  • `per_dni` ($0.20), RENIEC DNI streamlined check returning paternal + maternal surnames plus the verification digit. No consent required.
  • `per_national_id` ($0.17, ~90% coverage), RENIEC name + DOB + DNI authoritative-source match. The cheapest authoritative-source check in the Peruvian surface.
  • `per_tax_registration` ($1.79, >90% coverage), SUNAT (Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas) tax-registration cross-check, useful for fintech credit underwriting.
  • `per_residential` ($1.86, ~50% coverage), address cross-checked against combined consumer, telephone and postal records.

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

Is Didit suitable for online sports-betting operators under Ley 31.557?

Yes. Peru's Ley 31.557 (in force from 2024 with MINCETUR as the licensing authority) requires every licensed online sports-betting and casino operator to run remote KYC, AML screening, age verification and ongoing monitoring on every player.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `per_dni` + `per_national_id` Database Validation against RENIEC, the authoritative-source check MINCETUR expects.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Peruvian regulatory watchlists (SBS, SMV, Office of the Comptroller General).
  • Age Estimation ($0.10) as an additional age-gate signal alongside the document DOB.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Peru?

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 + RENIEC 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 Peru stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Peruvian Spanish, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Peruvian 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 Peru 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.
  • `per_national_id` (RENIEC), $0.17 per successful query.
  • `per_dni`, $0.20 per successful query.
  • `per_tax_registration` (SUNAT), $1.79 per successful query.
  • `per_residential`, $1.86 per successful query.

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