Country brief

How identity verification works in Venezuela.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Venezuelan identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Cédula attacks on the digital wallets and remittance corridors that serve the diaspora, Cédula document forgery across the V- and E- prefixes, and the cross-border KYC challenge as Venezuelan migrants onboard into Colombian, Peruvian, Chilean and Ecuadorian fintechs. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley Orgánica contra la Delincuencia Organizada y Financiamiento al Terrorismo
  • Resoluciones SUDEBAN (CDD)
  • Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos Personales (in development)
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Venezuela.

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

FAQ

Common questions about Venezuela.

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 Venezuelan regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Three sit on top of every Venezuelan identity-verification flow:

  • Superintendencia de las Instituciones del Sector Bancario (SUDEBAN), sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, payment institutions and EMIs under Resoluciones SUDEBAN and the broader Ley de Instituciones del Sector Bancario.
  • Superintendencia Nacional de Valores (SUNAVAL), securities and crypto-asset supervisor.
  • Unidad Nacional de Inteligencia Financiera (UNIF), Venezuela's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Actividades Sospechosas under the Ley Orgánica contra la Delincuencia Organizada y Financiamiento al Terrorismo.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all three at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack. Coverage is offered per the international sanctions and compliance regimes that apply to Venezuelan persons.

Does Didit cross-check Venezuelan identities against SAIME?

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

  • Source: Servicio Administrativo de Identificación, Migración y Extranjería (SAIME), the authoritative Venezuelan civil registry.
  • Price: $0.20 per successful query.
  • Required inputs: document_number (the Cédula, 7-10 digits with optional V- or E- prefix).
  • Returns: identification_number, first_name, last_name, full_name, date_of_birth, gender, document_type.
  • Consent: Not required.

The same service handles both V- (citizens) and E- (foreign residents) prefixes.

How does Didit handle Venezuelan migrants onboarding into other LATAM markets?

Didit is widely deployed for cross-border Venezuelan-migrant onboarding. The pattern looks like this:

  • Capture the Venezuelan Cédula + Pasaporte on the host country's verification flow (docs.didit.me/core-technology/id-verification/overview).
  • Use `ven_cedula` as the authoritative-source check against SAIME.
  • Pair with the destination-country Database Validation service, col_cedula for Colombia, per_dni for Peru, chl_rut for Chile, ecu_cedula for Ecuador, depending on whether the migrant has the local PPT, Carné de Extranjería or equivalent.
  • Run AML Screening against the global sanctions pool (OFAC, EU, UK, Canadian) plus Venezuelan and host-country regulatory watchlists.
  • Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check on the remittance leg if the destination is a crypto on-ramp or stablecoin-backed wallet.

One POST /v3/session/ call, one JSON report, one workflow, composable across both jurisdictions.

How long does it take to integrate Didit in Venezuela?

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 + SAIME Cédula 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 Venezuela stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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

Venezuelan Spanish, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Venezuelan users land on the Spanish 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 Venezuela 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.
  • `ven_cedula` (SAIME), $0.20 per successful query.

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