How identity verification works in France.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape French identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting MiCA-licensed PSANs and fast-growing neobanks, document forgery of the pre-2021 paper Carte Nationale d'Identité (still valid until 2031), and SIM-swap-driven account takeover on mobile-first onboardings. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- AMLD6 (EU Directive 2018/1673)
- MiCA (EU Regulation 2023/1114)
- DORA (EU Regulation 2022/2554)
- GDPR / Loi Informatique et Libertés
- eIDAS 2.0 (EU Regulation 2024/1183)
- Code monétaire et financier (Livre V)
- EU Regulation 2019/1157 (ID cards)

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

Cross-check against authoritative French datasets.
Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.
- The `fra_consumer` lead-generation lookup ($0.08, ~10% coverage) is the fast first-pass gate; `fra_utility_2` ($0.23, >70%) and `fra_residential_2` ($0.30, >40%) cover address verification on a budget.
- The deeper `fra_residential` ($0.89, ~85%) and `fra_utility` ($0.61, >75%) services hit census and government-agency-sourced address data; `fra_residential_3` ($0.61, ~60%) checks against e-commerce, subscription, and service-professional databases.
- `fra_phone` ($0.67, ~90%) confirms the phone is registered to the user via mobile-network-operator data. All six services are pay-per-success, no consent required.
