Country brief

How identity verification works in Netherlands.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Dutch identity fraud: deepfake attacks on Amsterdam's neobank cluster and DNB-licensed crypto-asset service providers, sophisticated forgery of the verblijfsdocument residence card on the migration corridor, and identity-swap fraud on Dutch marketplaces and gig platforms (Bol, Marktplaats, Uber Eats). Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks

  • DNB Anti-Money Laundering Guidance
  • AMLD6
  • MiCA

Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Netherlands.

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

    De Nederlandsche Bank — Dutch central bank and prudential supervisor for banks, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, and DNB-registered crypto-asset service providers.

  • AFM

    Autoriteit Financiële Markten — Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets. Conduct supervisor for securities firms and the MiCA-supervised crypto-asset service provider regime.

  • AP

    Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens — Dutch data-protection authority. Supervises GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the UAVG (Uitvoeringswet AVG).

  • FIU-Nederland

    Financial Intelligence Unit Nederland — receives Suspicious Activity Reports (ongebruikelijke transacties) under the Wwft (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme).

  • Belastingdienst

    Dutch Tax and Customs Administration — administers the Burgerservicenummer (BSN) and validates tax-ID for KYC onboarding.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Netherlands 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.

  • Nederlandse identiteitskaart (the post-2019/1157 polycarbonate card), Nederlands paspoort (with NFC chip read on e-Passports), Verblijfsdocument, Rijbewijs, and every EU/EEA national identity card.
  • Returns the name, document number, date of birth, place of birth, BSN (where available), nationality, and expiry.

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 Dutch watchlists:

  • Government of the Netherlands — Dutch National Sanction List — domestic sanctions designations aligned with EU and UN resolutions.
  • Authority for Financial Markets Netherlands — Warnings — AFM regulatory warnings and enforcement actions against financial-market participants.
  • House of Representatives of the Netherlands — PEP register — Tweede Kamer members (PEP Level 1).
  • Party for Freedom (PVV) — PEP register — senior party officials with public-function exposure.
  • Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM.nl) — SIE — state-invested enterprise and regulated-entity register.
  • Opgelicht?! - AVROTROS — SIP — adverse-media list of reported fraud and consumer-scam perpetrators.
  • FIU-Nederland (Financial Intelligence Unit) — suspicious-transaction reporting register — entities subject to Wwft reporting obligations.
  • De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) — enforcement and administrative sanctions register — DNB enforcement decisions and prudential-supervisor sanctions.
  • Hits are scored by severity — a Tweede Kamer member surfaces as a PEP Level 1, a regional commissioner as PEP Level 2, sanctions as critical.
  • Turn on ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) and Didit re-checks every customer daily, firing a webhook the moment a new hit appears.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against Dutch residential data.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The Consumer check (nld_consumer, $0.08, ~20% coverage) is the lead-generation database lookup against name + DOB.
  • The Residential check (nld_residential, $0.59, >80% coverage) confirms address presence — name + DOB + address cross-check, with optional national ID for higher-confidence matching.
