Country brief

How identity verification works in Chile.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Chilean identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Cédula attacks on the wave of digital wallets (Mach, Tenpo, Copec Pay) and licensed fintech credit institutions, online-gambling pressure following the 2024 SCJ (Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego) bill that regulates iGaming operators, and CMF-supervised broker-dealer onboarding for retail trading platforms. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 19.913 (UAF / PLA)
  • Ley 20.393 (criminal liability for legal entities)
  • CMF Normas 80 · 380 · 502
  • Ley 21.719 (data protection reform, 2024)
  • Ley 21.521 Fintech
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Chile.

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

    Comisión para el Mercado Financiero — unified financial supervisor (since 2019) for banks, securities firms, payment institutions, broker-dealers and insurance entities. Sets remote-onboarding rules under Normas 80, 380 and 502.

  • Banco Central de Chile

    Central bank — operates the TBR-CCAV real-time payment scheme and sets payment-system framework alongside the CMF.

  • UAF

    Unidad de Análisis Financiero — Chile's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under Ley 19.913.

  • SII

    Servicio de Impuestos Internos — tax authority. Maintains the RUT registry used in every KYC and KYB flow.

  • DPA

    Data Protection Authority created under Ley 21.719 (2024 reform, in force from 2026). Governs every identity verification on Chilean residents in line with EU GDPR principles.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Chile 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.

  • Cédula de Identidad, Cédula de Identidad para Extranjeros, Pasaporte (with the chip read on e-Passports), and driving licence.
  • Returns the name, RUT, date of birth, sex, and expiry.

02 · Biometric

Match the face. Prove it's a real person..

Stage 02Match the face. Prove it's a real person.
  • Selfie on any phone or laptop camera

03 · AML

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

1,300+ global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists — plus Chilean watchlists:

  • Comisión Para el Mercado Financiero (CMF) — Sanctions Resolutions Issued — formal regulatory sanctions against financial-market participants.
  • Comisión Para el Mercado Financiero (CMF) — Insurance Market Sanctions — sanctions against insurance and reinsurance entities.
  • Unidad de Análisis Financiero (UAF) — Enforceable Sanctions — UAF-issued PLA/FT enforcement actions.
  • Superintendencia de Pensiones — Gobierno de Chile (SIE) — sanctions from the pension-system regulator.
  • President of Chile — PEP register — head of state and cabinet-level officials.
  • National Congress of Chile — PEP register — Diputados and Senadores.
  • Chile Superintendency of Insolvency and Re-entrepreneurship — Insolvency — insolvency and restructuring enforcement actions.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against the Registro Civil.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The RUT check (chl_rut, $0.20) is the authoritative-source lookup — hits the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación for name + DOB + RUT cross-check. No consent required.
  • The Residential check (chl_residential, $1.42, ~25% coverage) cross-checks address against a government-agency database of national identity records — useful for proof-of-address on CMF-supervised account opening.
