How identity verification works in Ghana.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Ghanaian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on the wave of MoMo-connected fintechs and digital wallets, Ghana Card and Driver's Licence forgery during the GhanaCard transition, and AML pressure on cross-border remittance corridors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.

- Data Protection Act 843/2012
- Payment Systems and Services Act 987/2019

Bind every check to one audited session.
Ghana does not currently expose a public consumer government API for civil-registry lookups — no database validation service exists for the National Identification Authority (NIA) Ghana Card register.
- The Ghana Card is read end-to-end on the hosted flow: full OCR of the GhanaCard Personal Identification Number, name, date of birth, place of issue, expiry, and template authenticity check.
- Wire ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML into a single workflow. The full bundle anchors at $0.33 per session with a tamper-evident audit log a FIC-supervised compliance team can hand to BoG under the AML Act 1044/2020.
- An authoritative-source Ghana Card lookup via the NIA is on the upcoming Database Validation roadmap — Enterprise customers can talk to sales to wire it into their workflow.
