Country brief

How identity verification works in Romania.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Two pressures shape Romanian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-CI attacks on the wave of BNR-licensed neobanks and electronic-money issuers, and cross-border forgery pressure across the Schengen accession window as Romanian banks onboard Moldovan and Ukrainian residents. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks

Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Romania.

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

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Romania 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.

  • cartea de identitate (the laminate CI and the new chip-enabled CEIe rolling out under EU Reg. 2019/1157), pașaport (with the chip read on e-Passports), permis de conducere, and permis de ședere for non-EU residents.
  • Returns the name, CNP (codul numeric personal), date of birth, place of issue, and expiry.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against the Romania residential registry.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The Romania Residential check (rou_residential, $1.25) cross-checks name + address against combined consumer and public records — proof-of-address for BNR account opening and ASF onboarding. No consent required.
  • Pair the residential check with the Identity Document Verification module for the full BNR Customer Due Diligence pillar — same POST /v3/database-validation/ call shape.
