Country brief

How identity verification works in Thailand.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Thai identity fraud: deepfake injection against the BoT- and SEC-mandated electronic-KYC (e-KYC) flows on digital-asset exchanges and mobile banking, organised forgery of legacy laminated Thai ID cards in the tourism and remittance corridors, and synthetic-identity mule farming against PromptPay-linked accounts. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • AMLA B.E. 2542 (Anti-Money Laundering Act)
  • PDPA B.E. 2562 (Personal Data Protection)
  • BoT e-KYC Guidelines (Notification SorNorChor 8/2562)
  • Royal Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561
  • Counter Terrorism and Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction Financing Act B.E. 2559
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

FAQ

Common questions about Thailand.

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 Thai regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Four sit on top of every Thai identity-verification flow:

  • Bank of Thailand (BoT), central bank and prudential supervisor. Sets electronic-KYC (e-KYC) and remote-onboarding requirements under Notification SorNorChor 8/2562 binding on banks, payment service providers and e-money issuers.
  • Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Thailand), securities and digital-asset supervisor. Licenses Digital Asset Business Operators under the Royal Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561.
  • Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), Thailand's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under the AMLA B.E. 2542 as amended.
  • Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC), supervises the PDPA B.E. 2562. Governs how verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.

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 Thai identities against the DOPA national registry?

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

  • Source: Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA), the authoritative Thai civil registry.
  • Coverage: ~90% of the adult population.
  • Price: $0.16 per successful query.
  • Required inputs: first_name, last_name, date_of_birth, national_id (13-digit Thai national ID, digits only).
  • Returns: identification_number, date_of_birth, name_match_score, address_match_score.

Full docs at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/thailand/national-id.

Is Didit ready for a SEC-licensed Digital Asset Business Operator in Thailand?

Yes. SEC Thailand licenses Digital Asset Business Operators (exchanges, brokers, dealers and ICO portals) under the Royal Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561 with mandatory e-KYC and AML controls per AMLO regulations.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • `tha_national_id` Database Validation, the DOPA source check SEC Thailand and AMLO expect on every e-KYC.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Thai regulatory watchlists (AMLO High Risk Persons, THAMLO-SANC, SECTHAI register, National Assembly PEP).
  • Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check for the on-chain exposure assessment Digital Asset Business Operators need.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation under the AMLA B.E. 2542.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Thailand?

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 + DOPA 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 Thailand stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Thai, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Thai users land on the Thai 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, Thai-script OCR is tuned for the official ID Card and Driver's Licence templates, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

What does the Thailand 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.
  • `tha_national_id` (DOPA), $0.16 per successful query.

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