How identity verification works in Mozambique.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Mozambican identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on the mobile-money and digital-banking surge, document forgery across the Bilhete de Identidade format, and cross-border AML risk on the South Africa, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe corridors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Law 14/2013 on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing
- Decreto 66/2010 — Banco de Moçambique AML/CFT regulation
- Law 7/2002 — Combating Terrorism
- Mozambique Data Protection Decree (draft 2022)
- ESAAMLG Mutual Evaluation recommendations
- FATF 40 recommendations
