Country brief

How identity verification works in Peru.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Peruvian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-DNI attacks on the wave of digital wallets (Yape, Plin, Tunki, Ligo) and the SBS-licensed E-money Issuer regime, DNI document forgery across the legacy and chip formats, and iGaming pressure as MINCETUR (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo) licenses online sports-betting and casino operators under Ley 31.557. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley 27.693 (PLA/FT)
  • Resolución SBS 369-2018 (CDD)
  • Ley 29.733 (Datos Personales)
  • Ley 31.557 (online gambling)
  • Ley 31.572 EMI
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Peru.

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

    Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP — prudential supervisor for banks, microfinance, insurance and EMIs (Empresas Emisoras de Dinero Electrónico). Sets remote-onboarding rules under Resolución SBS 369-2018.

  • SMV

    Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores — securities and capital-market supervisor. Registers broker-dealers, investment funds and crypto-asset intermediaries.

  • UIF Perú

    Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera del Perú (within the SBS) — Peru's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under Ley 27.693.

  • ANPD

    Autoridad Nacional de Protección de Datos Personales — Ley 29.733 supervisor. Governs every identity verification on Peruvian residents.

  • RENIEC

    Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil — civil-registry authority. Issues every DNI and serves as the authoritative-source database for identity verification.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Peru 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.

  • DNI (legacy and chip), Carné de Extranjería, Permiso Temporal de Permanencia (PTP), Pasaporte (with the chip read on e-Passports), and driving licence.
  • Returns the name, DNI, date of birth, sex, and expiry.

  • SBS — Sanctions for Supervised Companies — Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP enforcement sanctions.
  • SMV — Sanctioned Companies — Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores capital-market enforcement list.
  • Office of the Comptroller General — Registered and Current Sanctions — public-sector procurement and anti-corruption sanctions.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against RENIEC.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The RENIEC National ID check (per_national_id, $0.17, ~90% coverage) is the authoritative-source lookup with name + DOB + DNI cross-check.
  • The DNI check (per_dni, $0.20) hits RENIEC for a streamlined DNI-only validation — returns paternal + maternal surnames and the verification digit.
  • The SUNAT Tax Registration check (per_tax_registration, $1.79, >90% coverage) cross-checks against the Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas — useful for fintech credit underwriting.
  • The Residential check (per_residential, $1.86, ~50% coverage) cross-checks address against combined consumer, telephone and postal records.
