Country brief

How identity verification works in Argentina.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Argentine identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-DNI attacks on the wave of fintech wallets and PSPCP-licensed payment providers (Mercado Pago, Ualá and the long tail), DNI document forgery across the legacy green-card and current tarjeta formats, and provincial iGaming pressure as Buenos Aires Province, CABA and Mendoza expand licensed online gambling. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 25.246 (PLA/FT)
  • Resolución UIF 14/2023 (Customer Due Diligence)

  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Argentina.

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

    Banco Central de la República Argentina — central bank and prudential supervisor for banks, payment service providers (PSPCP), EMIs and the Transferencias 3.0 instant-payment scheme.

  • CNV

    Comisión Nacional de Valores — securities and Virtual Asset Service Provider (PSAV) supervisor. Registers crypto-exchange operators under RG 994/2024.

  • UIF

    Unidad de Información Financiera — Argentina's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under Ley 25.246 and Resolución UIF 14/2023.

  • AAIP

    Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública — Ley 25.326 (Protección de Datos Personales) supervisor. Governs every identity verification on Argentine residents.

  • RENAPER

    Registro Nacional de las Personas — civil-registry authority. Issues every DNI and serves as the authoritative-source database for identity verification.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Argentina database cross-check — composed on one workflow, billed per success, returned in one report.
01 · ID

Capture and read the ID.

Captured on any phone — auto-classified, OCR-parsed, and template-verified.

  • DNI (the current tarjeta and the legacy formats), DNI Extranjero, Cédula de Identidad Provincial, Pasaporte (with the chip read on e-Passports), and driving licence.
  • Returns the name, DNI number, date of birth, sex, and expiry.

  • National Congress — Senators and Deputies PEP register (PEP Level 2).
