Country brief

How identity verification works in Moldova.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Moldova faces elevated document-forgery and identity-fraud risk driven by cross-border migration corridors, remittance flows from EU diaspora, and cross-border e-commerce platforms. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law on Prevention and Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism No. 308/2017
  • Law on Personal Data Protection No. 133/2011 (GDPR-aligned)
  • EU Association Agreement 2016
  • FATF 40 Recommendations
  • MONEYVAL evaluation framework
Regulators

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