Country brief

How identity verification works in Spain.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Spanish identity fraud is shaped by DNI and passport forgery feeding cross-border crypto and neobank onboarding, deepfake and injection attacks on remote video-ID flows, and synthetic identities built on stolen NIE numbers. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • SEPBLAC remote onboarding (attested)
  • AMLD6 (6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive)
  • MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation)
  • eIDAS 2.0
  • DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
  • GDPR / Ley Orgánica 3/2018
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Spain.

These are the supervisors a Spain verification flow has to answer to. One Didit hosted flow + one audit log covers every one of them, no separate integration per agency.
  • SEPBLAC

    Servicio Ejecutivo de la Comisión de Prevención del Blanqueo de Capitales, the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) supervisor and Spain's Financial Intelligence Unit. Authorises the remote-onboarding procedure Didit uses.

  • Banco de España

    Central bank and prudential supervisor, covers banks, payment institutions (EP), and electronic money institutions (EDE). Formally attested Didit's remote onboarding.

  • CNMV

    Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, securities and crypto-asset supervisor under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation.

  • AEPD

    Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Ley Orgánica 3/2018 supervisor for Spain.

  • Tesoro Público

    Spanish Treasury, formally attested Didit's remote onboarding as safer than in-person verification on the public record.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Spain database cross-check, composed on one workflow, billed per success, returned in one report.
01 · ID

Capture and read the ID.

The user takes a photo of their document on their phone, or shares their MiDNI credential directly from the official wallet. The hosted flow figures out which document it is, reads every field, and checks whether the document is real (not a screen capture, not a print, not a tampered template).

  • Works for every active Spanish credential, DNI (3.0 / 4.0), MiDNI, NIE / TIE, Spanish passport (with the chip read on e-Passports), plus every EU/EEA national identity card.
  • Returns the name, DNI / NIE number, date of birth, place of issue, and expiry.
Read the docs
Stage 01Capture and read the ID
  • DNI / DNIe / DNI 4.0
  • MiDNI, digital wallet credential
  • NIE / TIE · Spanish passport, chip read on e-Passport
02 · Biometric

Match the face. Prove it's a real person..

Selfie confirmed live and matched against the ID portrait.

  • Duplicate check: 1:N face search across existing users. Free.
  • Active liveness ($0.15) for elevated-risk flows, user turns or blinks. This is the configuration SEPBLAC attested as safer than in-person verification.
Read the docs
Stage 02Match the face. Prove it's a real person.
  • Selfie on any phone or laptop camera
  • Mobile-handoff QR when the user starts on desktop
03 · AML

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

1,300+ global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists, plus Spanish watchlists:

  • Congress of Spain (Pep Level 1), Diputados, Senadores, and senior congressional officials.
  • SPAIN - CNMV - Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (SIE), CNMV sanctions for regulatory irregularities against securities firms and crypto-asset service providers.
  • Agencia Mayorista de Viajes a Cuba - Guama (SIE), enforcement actions under international trade-sanction regimes.
  • SPAIN - ESGC-MW - Guardia Civil - Most Wanted (SIP), Guardia Civil's most-wanted fugitives register.
  • La Voz de Gran Canaria (SIP), regional adverse-media and enforcement signals.
  • The Guardian, Most Wanted (Warnings), international adverse-media warnings.
  • SEPBLAC, enforcement actions, Servicio Ejecutivo de la Comisión de Prevención del Blanqueo de Capitales AML/FT enforcement actions.
  • Banco de España, Sanctions and Enforcement Register, central-bank sanctions against banks, payment institutions and EMIs.
  • Tesoro Público (Spanish Treasury), National and EU Sanctions Register, Spanish Treasury implementation of EU and UN sanctions.

Severity-scored. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07/user/yr) re-checks daily and fires a webhook on new hits.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against the Dirección General de la Policía.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The DNI / NIE check (esp_dni) hits the Dirección General de la Policía records directly and validates the personal number against the document type and expiration date, the authoritative-source check SEPBLAC expects.
  • The Residential (esp_residential, ~60% coverage) and Utility (esp_utility, >35% coverage) services match name + address against aggregated government, public, and consumer records, the proof-of-address signal AMLD6 calls for.
  • Phone (esp_phone, >10%) and Phone 2 (esp_phone_2, >60%) match the user's mobile or landline against telco and mobile-network-operator records.
  • Consumer (esp_consumer, $0.08) is the cheapest first-pass lead-quality signal.

FAQ

Common questions about Spain.

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.

Is Didit authorised by SEPBLAC for remote onboarding in Spain?

Yes, Didit is the only identity-verification platform a national government has formally attested as safer than in-person verification. Three Spanish financial regulators signed off on the public record:

  • Tesoro Público, the Spanish Treasury.
  • Banco de España, the central bank and prudential supervisor for banks, payment institutions, and electronic money institutions.
  • SEPBLAC, the Servicio Ejecutivo de la Comisión de Prevención del Blanqueo de Capitales (AML supervisor and Financial Intelligence Unit).

The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) is covered through the European Banking Authority (EBA) memo. Under AMLD6 mutual recognition the attestation is jurisdiction-portable across every EU member state.

The public letters are bundled into the Trust Pack on /security-compliance, request and we send them in one PDF.

Does Didit cross-check Spanish identities against the Dirección General de la Policía?

Yes, via the `esp_dni` Database Validation service (POST /v3/database-validation/ with services=esp_dni).

  • Source: Dirección General de la Policía records.
  • Price: $0.20 per successful query.
  • Required inputs: personal_number (DNI 8 digits + letter, or NIE X/Y/Z + 7 digits + letter), document_type, expiration_date.
  • Returns: identification_number, first_name, last_name.
  • Consent: Not required.

Five additional Spanish services cover address (esp_residential $0.24, esp_utility $0.76), phone (esp_phone $0.24, esp_phone_2 $0.77), and lead-quality (esp_consumer $0.08). All six services are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/spain/.

Does Didit support the MiDNI mobile credential and NFC reading on DNI 4.0?

Yes to both.

  • The MiDNI digital wallet credential (live since 2 April 2025) is accepted as an identity document on the hosted flow, same evidence path as the physical DNI, same audit log.
  • Both DNI 3.0 (2015 onward) and DNI 4.0 (2021 onward, under EU Regulation 2019/1157) carry a contactless NFC chip. The hosted UI walks the user through the chip read and validates the data against the certificate chain, cryptographic proof of authenticity, not just OCR.
  • The hosted UI ships in Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, and English, Spanish users land on the flow in their preferred regional language.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Spain?

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 + esp_dni Dirección General de la Policía cross-check, 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 Spain stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Spanish (Castilian), Catalan, Galician, Basque, and English are all live, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages globally; Spanish users land on the flow in their preferred regional language by default.

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 Spain 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.
  • `esp_dni` (Dirección General de la Policía), $0.20 per successful query.
  • `esp_consumer`, $0.08. `esp_residential`, $0.24. `esp_utility`, $0.76.
  • `esp_phone`, $0.24. `esp_phone_2`, $0.77.

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