How identity verification works in Algeria.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Algerian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-CNI attacks targeting Bank-of-Algeria-supervised mobile-payment operators and Islamic finance windows, CNI and Passeport Biométrique template forgery during the ongoing biometric credential rollout, and AML pressure on the Algeria-France remittance corridor under AFTIU designations and EU financial sanctions. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Law No. 05-01 of 2005 on the Prevention and Fight Against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing
- Banking and Credit Act No. 90-10 of 1990 (as amended by Ordinance No. 03-11 of 2003)
- Law No. 18-07 of 2018 on the Protection of Individuals in Personal Data Processing
- Ordinance No. 15-01 of 2015 amending anti-terrorism provisions
- FATF 40 recommendations
- MENAFATF 40 recommendations (FATF-style regional body)

Cross-check the identity at scale.
- There is no public government database validation API for Algeria currently exposed as a standalone Didit service — the Direction Générale de l'État Civil does not currently offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
The OCR + biometric + AML stack is the authoritative Commission Bancaire- and AFTIU-compliant path today: the 18-character NIN is OCR-parsed from the biometric CNI, the face is matched against the portrait, and the AML stage screens the extracted name against every Algerian regulatory watchlist. Enterprise customers can talk to sales about registry-linkage options as Bank-of-Algeria-authorised data partners onboard.
