How identity verification works in Congo - Kinshasa.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape DRC identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on mobile-money operators in Kinshasa and mining-belt towns, Carte d'Identité Nationale forgery amid an ongoing civil-registry reform programme, and AML/sanctions exposure tied to conflict-minerals trade flows and UN-designated armed groups. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- AML/CFT Law 04/016 of 2004 (DRC)
- BCC Instruction 14 on KYC and due diligence
- UN Security Council Sanctions Regime (DRC arms embargo — UNSCR 1807/2008 and successors)
- GABAC mutual-evaluation framework
- FATF 40 recommendations
