Country brief

How identity verification works in Bolivia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Bolivia faces document forgery pressure on the Carnet de Identidad, synthetic-identity fraud tied to the expansion of mobile-money wallets, and informal-economy cash flows that complicate KYC for licensed cooperativas and fintech lenders. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 393/2013 (Ley de Servicios Financieros)
  • Ley 1040/2018 (Ley Anti-Lavado de Dinero — ALD/CFT)
  • Decreto Supremo 26052/2001 (Reglamento de Control de Legitimación de Ganancias Ilícitas)
  • GAFILAT 40 Recommendations
