Country brief

How identity verification works in Mongolia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Mongolian identity fraud: synthetic-ID and mule-account attacks exploiting the rapid growth of mobile banking and digital lending, forgery of the National Identity Card during regional cross-border flows, and informal-economy AML exposure across the mining and commodity sectors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCML/TF) 2013 (amended 2021)
  • Law on the Central Bank (Bank of Mongolia Act)
  • Law on Banking 2010 (amended 2018)
  • Law on Personal Data Protection 2021
  • APG (Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering) — mutual evaluation framework
  • EAG (Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism) — regional FATF-style body
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Mongolia.

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

    Bank of Mongolia (Монголбанк) — central bank and primary supervisor of licensed commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, and the national payment system. Sets CDD/KYC requirements for regulated financial institutions.

  • FRC

    Financial Regulatory Commission — supervises non-bank financial institutions, securities dealers, insurance companies, collective investment funds, and virtual-asset service providers (VASPs). Issues AML/CFT rules for non-bank regulated entities.

  • FIU

    Financial Intelligence Unit of Mongolia — sits within the General Intelligence Agency. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports from all reporting entities under the Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCML/TF). Maintains national AML designations.

  • SRA

    State Registration Authority (SRA) under the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs — issues and maintains the National Identity Card and civil registration records including the 10-digit civil registration number (CRN).

  • MRPAM

    Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia — regulatory body for the mining and extractives sector, a key AML/CFT risk vertical. Cooperates with the FIU on beneficial-ownership disclosures for mining-licence holders.

04 · Registry

Validate inputs against global identity infrastructure.

  • There is no public government database validation API for Mongolia currently exposed as a standalone Didit service — the State Registration Authority (SRA) civil registry does not currently offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
