Country brief

How identity verification works in Sweden.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Swedish identity fraud: deepfake and injection attacks on neobank + crypto onboarding rails that grew up alongside BankID, synthetic-identity attempts that exploit the public-register transparency of the personnummer, and AML pressure on Stockholm's high-density payments-and-crypto cluster (Klarna, Tink, Trustly, Goobit). Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.

FAQ

Common questions about Sweden.

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 Swedish regulators sit on top of a digital onboarding flow?

Four supervisors sit on every Swedish identity-verification flow:

  • Finansinspektionen (FI), Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. Sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money institutions, and MiCA-licensed crypto-asset service providers under Penningtvättslagen (2017:630), Sweden's transposition of AMLD6.
  • Finanspolisen, Sweden's Financial Intelligence Unit, sitting inside the Swedish Police Authority. Receives every suspicious activity report.
  • Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), supervises GDPR. Governs how the verification data is captured, stored, and disclosed.
  • Spelinspektionen, Swedish Gambling Authority. Licenses online operators under the Swedish Gambling Act (2018:1138) 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 Swedish identities against the Swedish Police Authority register?

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

  • Source: Swedish Police Authority (Polismyndigheten), national ID register.
  • Coverage: ~100% of the adult population.
  • Price: $0.28 per successful query.
  • Required inputs: first_name, last_name, date_of_birth, national_id (the personnummer).
  • Returns: identification_number, first_name, last_name, full_name, date_of_birth, name_match_score.

Two complementary services round out the surface: `swe_phone` (mobile-network-operator data, $0.28, ~100% coverage) and `swe_consumer` ($0.09, ~10% coverage). All three are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/sweden/.

Is Didit ready for MiCA-licensed Swedish crypto-asset service providers?

Yes. Finansinspektionen authorises crypto-asset service providers under MiCA with mandatory KYC + AML controls per Penningtvättslagen (2017:630).

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `swe_national_id` Database Validation against the Swedish Police Authority register, the source check Finansinspektionen and Finanspolisen expect.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global 1,300+ pool plus Swedish regulatory watchlists and EU Consolidated Sanctions.
  • 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 Penningtvättslagen.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Sweden?

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 + the swe_national_id database 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 Sweden stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Swedish, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Swedish users land on the Swedish 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 Sweden 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.
  • `swe_national_id` (Swedish Police Authority register), $0.28 per successful query.
  • `swe_phone` (mobile-network-operator data), $0.28 per successful query.
  • `swe_consumer`, $0.09 per successful query.

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