Country brief

How identity verification works in Ukraine.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Ukrainian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks against the fintech and crypto on-ramp market, ID Card forgery across the legacy paper passport and the current chip-card format, and wartime sanctions pressure that requires strict OFAC / EU / NSDC of Ukraine screening on every onboarding. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law of Ukraine 361-IX (PLA/FT)
  • Law of Ukraine 2074-IX (Virtual Assets)
  • Law of Ukraine 2297-VI (Personal Data)
  • Law of Ukraine 1276-IX (Diia digital state)
  • NBU Resolution 65 (CDD for banks)
  • FATF 40 recommendations

FAQ

Common questions about Ukraine.

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 Ukrainian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

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

  • National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), sets remote-onboarding rules for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money issuers, and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) under Law of Ukraine 2074-IX and NBU Resolution 65.
  • National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), supervises licensed brokers, fund managers, and securities-trading infrastructure.
  • State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine (SFMS), Ukraine's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under Law of Ukraine 361-IX.
  • Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights (UPDP, Ombudsperson), supervises Law of Ukraine 2297-VI on personal data. Governs how the 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 work with the Diia digital identity?

Yes. The Diia mobile state, built under Law of Ukraine 1276-IX, issues a digital twin of the chip-enabled ID Card and the Foreign Passport. Both the physical credential and the Diia-issued digital credential flow through the hosted ID Verification module today.

  • The chip-enabled ID Card is auto-classified, captured, and the contactless chip is read.
  • The Foreign Passport flows on the same session with the contactless Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip read.
  • A Diia API direct lookup is on the upcoming Database Validation roadmap as the rest-of-world authoritative-source surface expands.

No additional integration, the same POST /v3/session/ call routes the Ukrainian user into the right capture flow.

Is Didit ready for VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) registration under Law 2074-IX?

Yes. Ukraine's Law of Ukraine 2074-IX on Virtual Assets assigns VASP supervision to the NBU and the NSSMC, with mandatory KYC + AML obligations under Law 361-IX.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus the Ukrainian regulatory watchlists named above, including the NSDC Personal Sanctions list.
  • Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check for the on-chain exposure assessment.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation.

One audited session, one JSON report, one webhook contract, ready for the NBU + NSSMC dual-supervisor model.

How long does it take to integrate Didit in Ukraine?

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, 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 Ukraine stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Ukrainian, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Ukrainian users land on the Ukrainian flow by default. English and Russian are also live on the same flow for cross-border users and the diaspora.

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 Ukraine 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.

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