How identity verification works in Cambodia.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Cambodian identity fraud: synthetic-ID attacks exploiting the relatively recent digitisation of the National ID Card system, document forgery across the older laminate ID cards and the newer biometric format, and cross-border fraud flows between Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand as regional remittance volumes expand. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Anti-Money Laundering Law 2007
- Law on Counter-Terrorism Financing 2007
- Personal Data Protection Law 2023 (Sub-Decree 56/2023)
- Prakas B7-017-344 (NBC Payment Service Operator Licensing)
- FATF 40 Recommendations
- APG Mutual Evaluation Framework

Cross-check against Cambodia's government registry.
Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.
- The `khm_national_id` check (
$0.16 per successful query, ~80% coverage, consent required) hits the government agency database of citizen records directly —first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,voter_idin, normalised match results out (identification_number,date_of_birth,full_name,name_match_score,address). - The
voter_idfield must match the pattern(?:\d{8,9}|\d{2}-\d{3}-\d{3})— Didit validates the format before the lookup runs. - Pair with Identity Document Verification + Passive Liveness + AML for the full NBC Customer Due Diligence workflow on one
