How identity verification works in Namibia.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Namibian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting mobile-money and digital-banking growth, document forgery across the National ID Card format, and cross-border AML risk on the South Africa and Angola corridors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Financial Intelligence Act 13 of 2012
- Protection of Personal Information Act 3 of 2013 (PPI Act)
- Anti-Corruption Act 8 of 2003
- Bank of Namibia Act 15 of 1997
- ESAAMLG Mutual Evaluation recommendations
- FATF 40 recommendations
