Country brief

How identity verification works in Slovakia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Two pressures shape Slovak identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting NBS-licensed neobanks and electronic-money issuers onboarding through digital channels, and document forgery pressure across the Schengen zone as Slovak banks onboard Ukrainian and Romanian residents. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Zákon č. 297/2008 Z.z. (Slovak AML Act, AMLD6 transposition)
  • AMLD6 (EU Directive 2018/843)
  • GDPR / Zákon č. 18/2018 Z.z.
  • EU Regulation 2019/1157 (chip ID cards)
  • MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation)
  • DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)

FAQ

Common questions about Slovakia.

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 Slovak regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Four regulators sit on top of every Slovak identity-verification flow:

  • Národná banka Slovenska (NBS), National Bank of Slovakia and integrated financial supervisor. Sets Customer Due Diligence requirements under Zákon č. 297/2008 Z.z. (the Slovak AML Act, transposing AMLD6) and the Banking Act (Zákon č. 483/2001 Zb.).
  • Finančná spravodajská jednotka SR (FIU SR), Slovakia's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports from obligated entities (povinné osoby) under Zákon č. 297/2008 Z.z.
  • Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov (ÚOOÚ), Slovak Data Protection Authority. Supervises GDPR (Regulation 2016/679) and Zákon č. 18/2018 Z.z. on data protection. Governs how identity data is captured, stored, and disclosed.
  • Úrad pre verejné obstarávanie (ÚVO), maintains the Register of Public-Sector Partners (RPSP) with UBO data, reference source for AML checks on companies with public contracts.

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 Slovak identities against an authoritative registry?

Yes, via the `svk_residential` Database Validation service on POST /v3/database-validation/.

  • Source: Combined property ownership and public authority registers.
  • Price: $1.22 per successful query.
  • Coverage: ~50%.
  • Required inputs: first_name, last_name, address.
  • Optional inputs: date_of_birth.
  • Returns: address, first_name, last_name match scores.
  • Consent: Not required.

The service is documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/slovakia/residential. The občiansky preukaz chip is captured and read on the same session via the Identity Document Verification module.

Is Didit ready for NBS-licensed electronic-money institution onboarding in Slovakia?

Yes. Slovakia's Národná banka Slovenska (NBS) supervises every electronic-money institution (EMI) and payment institution under Zákon č. 297/2008 Z.z. (the Slovak AML Act transposing AMLD6), every entity must run full Customer Due Diligence at onboarding.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `svk_residential` Database Validation ($1.22 per query) for proof-of-address against combined Slovak property ownership and public authority registers.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Slovak regulatory watchlists (Národná rada PEP register, Ministry of Interior, FIU SR) and EU Consolidated Sanctions.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for periodic-review obligations under Zákon č. 297/2008 Z.z.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Slovakia?

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 + svk_residential 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 Slovakia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

What does the Slovakia 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.
  • `svk_residential` (combined Slovak registers, ~50% coverage), $1.22 per successful query.

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