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

04 · Registry

Bind every check to one audited session.

  • There is no public government database validation API for Ukraine currently exposed as a standalone Didit service — the State Migration Service ID Card registry and the Diia platform do not currently expose a consumer API open to third-party integrators.
