Country brief

How identity verification works in Greece.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Two pressures shape Greek identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Ταυτότητα attacks on the wave of Bank of Greece-licensed neobanks and MiCA-licensed crypto exchanges, and cross-border forgery pressure as Greek banks onboard residents from the broader Eastern Mediterranean. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.

    Επιτροπή Κεφαλαιαγοράς (Hellenic Capital Market Commission) — securities supervisor and Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authority under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Greece 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.

  • Νέα Ταυτότητα (the chip-enabled new card rolling out under EU Reg. 2019/1157), the legacy paper Δελτίο Ταυτότητας, διαβατήριο (with the chip read on e-Passports), άδεια οδήγησης, and άδεια διαμονής for non-EU residents.
  • Returns the name, AFM (tax ID), date of birth, place of issue, and expiry.

Cross-check against Greek consumer + credit-bureau records.

  • The Greece Consumer check (grc_consumer, $1.10, ~40% coverage) hits a commercial lead-generation database for first-pass identity match.
