Country brief

How identity verification works in Jordan.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Jordanian identity fraud: synthetic-ID and deepfake attacks targeting CBJ-licensed exchange companies and mobile-wallet operators serving Syrian refugee and migrant-worker remittance corridors, national ID card forgery across legacy and current formats, and AML pressure on hawala and cross-border fiat corridors under AMLTFU sanctions and MENAFATF mutual evaluation requirements. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • AML Law No. 46 of 2007 (as amended by Law No. 29 of 2019)
  • Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 (PDPL)
  • Banking Law No. 28 of 2000
  • CBJ Instructions for Payment Service Providers
  • MENAFATF Mutual Evaluation Recommendations
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Jordan.

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

    Central Bank of Jordan — prudential supervisor for banks, exchange companies, microfinance institutions, payment service providers, and e-money issuers under Banking Law No. 28 of 2000.

  • AMLTFU

    Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Unit — Jordan's Financial Intelligence Unit. Administers AML Law No. 46 of 2007 (as amended by Law No. 29 of 2019) and receives Suspicious Transaction Reports from obliged entities.

  • JSC

    Jordan Securities Commission — regulates capital markets, securities firms, investment funds, and brokerage activities. Sets digital-onboarding requirements for JSC-licensed intermediaries.

  • TRC

    Telecommunications Regulatory Commission — oversees digital services, electronic signatures, and internet service providers. Issues the regulatory framework for e-commerce and digital identity.

  • NCSCM / PDPL

    National Center for Security and Crisis Management — responsible for data-protection oversight under the Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 (PDPL). Governs how identity verification data on Jordanian residents is captured, stored, and disclosed.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Jordan 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.

  • National ID Card (Al-Hawiyya, 10-digit national number), Jordanian Passport (with the chip read on e-Passports), Driving Licence, Residence Permit (Iqama), and travel documents issued to Palestinian refugees and UNHCR-registered asylum-seekers.
  • Returns the name, national number, date of birth, place of issue, and expiry.

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

Selfie confirmed live and matched against the ID portrait.

  • Duplicate check: 1:N face search across existing users. Free.
  • Active liveness ($0.15) for elevated-risk flows — user turns or blinks.

Stage 02Match the face. Prove it's a real person.
  • Selfie on any phone or laptop camera
  • Mobile-handoff QR when the user starts on desktop
03 · AML

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

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

  • AMLTFU — National List — Jordan's primary domestic terror-financing and sanctions designations under AML Law No. 46 of 2007.
  • AMLTFU — Sanctions List — UN Security Council sanctions transposed by the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Unit.
  • Jordan Securities Commission — Circulars and Regulatory Decisions — JSC-level enforcement and debarment actions against licensed intermediaries.
  • Emirate Council of Jordan — PEP register — senior legislative-branch and royal council Politically Exposed Persons (PEP Level 1).
  • The Middle East (الشرق الأوسط) — adverse-media signals — leading Jordanian financial journalism outlet for negative-news screening.
  • MENAFATF — member-state designations — Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force regional watchlist.
  • UN Security Council — Consolidated Sanctions List — global multilateral sanctions transposed by AMLTFU.
  • OFAC SDN — Specially Designated Nationals List — US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control designations with Levant-region coverage.
  • Arab League — political and economic sanctions registry — regional body enforcement and suspension decisions.
  • Basel AML Index — Jordan risk signals — country-level risk context updated annually.
  • FATF — high-risk and monitored jurisdictions list — global regulatory-risk context.
  • Interpol — international criminal-notice registry — cross-border wanted persons and criminal diffusions.

Severity-scored. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07/user/yr) re-checks daily and fires a webhook on new hits.

04 · Registry

Cross-check the identity at scale.

Jordan does not currently expose a public government consumer API open to third-party integrators — no public database validation API exists for the Civil Status and Passports Directorate's national ID register.

  • The OCR + biometric + AML stack is the authoritative AMLTFU- and PDPL-compliant path today: the 10-digit national number is OCR-parsed from the Al-Hawiyya, the face is matched against the document portrait, and the AML stage screens the extracted name against every Jordanian regulatory watchlist.
  • For phone, email, and address enrichment, pair the session with global Database Validation services that already work in Jordan today.
  • A direct Civil Status and Passports Directorate authoritative-source lookup ships as AMLTFU- and PDPL-compliant data partners onboard — Enterprise customers can talk to sales to wire it into their workflow.
